I thought this was going to be a problem with my flute playing as well when I started oboe, but luckily, it not been a concern at all. On the contrary, Mr. Schneider (my instructor, studied with Mack) makes reeds on the sharp side, and I'm forced to play them down to pitch. The result is no lip tension, just a slight rolling of the lips in. Also, since there is no tension, the transition from oboe to flute is made easier, and the tone hasn't suffered.
Some food for thought, it's working beautifully for me.
