Shut it off, it won't hurt anything. It's only an issue if you're shutting off a lot of vents. Now how much good it'll do energy saving wise, depends on where the room is in the house and how old your house is. Newer houses with better insulation will see much less improvement.

Won't it potentially cause humidity issues? The room does not get direct sunlight (faces south). It's a new house with pretty good insulation (as far as I've experienced so far).

Without being there, I couldn't say for sure., but I doubt it Personally, I would just use common sense. Shut it off and and just check the room a couple times over the next week or two.
