Ok, I'm just gonna say what everyone is probably thinking about regarding this question. There is a chance that Issei without his lewdness could become an "alternate" version of Kiba. However, unlike Kiba, Issei may lack his level of class and charm when it comes to talking to girls. That, and Issei may still be dense in regards to reading the atmosphere of a room and in realizing his initial dream has come to pass (IE: his harem). Also, while I don't see the ORC, Rias' family, or Issei's family disagreeing with the "new" Issei that emerged from Azazel's invention/experiment, I can also see the girls coming to an agreement that not only is Issei not himself without his lechery, but he may also be seen as a - for lack of a better term - counterbalance to Kiba on the team. And yes, I realize that I left out Gasper in my answer. However, he is more or less neutral in this case, unless someone can present a valid arguement.

Of course, there is one question that could supplement this one. That question being: how would Ddraig and Albion react to Issei's (temporary) loss of lechery? Especially since Issei is ultimately responsible for their current emotional states.
