I can visualize water levels ABOVE dock surfaces would be a problem but that would have to be quite a bit higher than "full lake" so what other problems can occur?

When the water is high enough to wash up on front lawns any fertilizer that has been used gets washed into the lake and helps the millfoil grow.
Docks that work well to handle boats at a certain height can damage boats when the rub rail is above the posts.
If you look at some of the cottages on Paugus Bay along Weirs Boulevard near Christmas Island you will see that they do not have a lot of room to work with before high water will damage them.
There are many low bridges (Alton, Wolfeboro to name two) and high water prevents some boats from transiting those channels.
When the water is very high it is difficult for some of the large boats to exit Silver Sands Marina under the island bridge.
