running out of date vm tools

Have applied update for security on an esxi host. Noticed that vm tools running out of date.
Is it going to be a problem with vm if I do not upgrade the vm tools?
or for future choose no-tools vib instead standard?

Not immediately, but I would recommend, that at the next VM Maintenance window, you update it.

VMware Tools must match the ESXi version, otherwise, you will get Out of Date!
