Default Balanced output to two inputs, one of which is unbalanced

My question is this: suppose that the balanced output is also multiplexed
to a second input using a wye cable, and the second destination is balanced.
Is this going to cause problems


No, as long as the balanced input is OK being fed from an unbalanced
source.

for example because the load impedance now
differs between the hot signal and cold signal?


Once you unbalance a source, it's always unbalanced. Tie the "cold"
side of the balanced input to ground and pretend it's unbalanced.
