Well, firstly, herders need extensive ranging pastures and trees would get in the way of that - unless we aren't talking about an Aldryami Reforestation kind of green pleasantness?
Secondly, I imagine that being green and pleasant would also make Prax full of competitors. Suddenly there would be many outsider groups that would actually WANT to live there.
And thirdly, while this may be more of a time bomb, it will become much harder to enforce - or justify - the strictness of Praxian lifestyle when it isn't really a matter of life or death anymore. I suspect the clans will start to fall apart after a while.
