Not at all.

"HINWEIS: DAS LÖSCHEN EINES GERÄTES KANN DIESES IN DEN  
AUSLIEFERUNGSZUSTAND ZURÜCKVERSETZEN. SEIEN SIE SICH SICHER, DASS SIE  
DIES WOLLEN, BEVOR SIE DIE LÖSCHUNG DURCHFÜHREN."

Looks clear to me, even as a non-native speaker. When a device  
synchronizes while 'Löschen' is active, it will usually go back to the  
factory settings. So this is something you shouldn't use lightly. It  
might be the last resort when a device is stolen or lost, in an  
attempt to wipe it. But don't rely on it though, as there are ways to  
circumvent this.

"Reset all policy keys This will cause all devices to be  
reprovisioned, pushing new security policies."

This will make devices resynchronize all content on the next  
synchronization. In case of synchronization problems, resyncing  
everything *might* solve the problem. The only cost involved is, the  
data transferred.
