A short shifter speeds up the shift action by changing the ratio between the length of movement of your hand and the movement required by shifter forks so that your hand has to move less distance to get the shifter forks to move the gears.
Moving your hand at the same speed implies the top of the shifter moves thru a shorter arc to move the forks the required distance and therefore the shifter forks move faster.
This puts more pressure on the syncro's rings which IMHO opinion are weak to start with, so YES, a short-shifter will put more pressure (cause faster wear) on syncro rings that the OEM shifter.
Rev-match "might" be affected but we are talking 50-100 milli-seconds (maybe) - could be significant, but someone with a shitfer can best comment.
PS - typo is deliberate ....
