As a clarinetist who is learning oboe, I think the effect of doubling on one's embouchure depends mostly on whether you intend to maintain your practice regime on your first instrument while learning the second one.

I believe that our musculature is sufficiently versatile to enable us to use our mouths in many different ways over the course of a day. But if you just stopped playing the oboe for a few months and played only the trumpet, for example, then, of course, your oboe embouchure would suffer.

Frankly, I would think that oboe -> brass is a fairly logical leap, since you are already used to using both lips and feeling vibration in them.
