No, /.autofsck is not harmful and will cause nothing unless 
/etc/sysconfig/autofsck exists and has something specific defined. The 
/.autofsck is automatically created at each boot by the system.

/.autorelabel is as well only a control file and does not cause a full 
SELiux relabeling at each boot.

If you don't believe me, please see /etc/rc.sysinit.
