My guess is that not much would happen. I doubt people would suddenly be doing it any more than they already do.
Yes, I don't think much would happen either. There's only one problem I see - parents can have overwhelming psychological control over their children even when they are of age, and in such incestuous relationships it could be difficult to disentangle if they are really consensual. Of course, this kind of psychological pressuring occurs in regular relationships as well, so it's probably not a convincing reason.
