Is there any problem with putting an extra return between paragraphs as a
vertical spacer? I know it's funky and it would be better done with CSS, but
there is a situation where it could save me some time.

Yes there's a problem. A Carriage Return doesn't render in the browser as a
Carriage Return. Use HTML instead.

A "carriage return" in design view will add a paragraph. It may be
empty or contain a non-breaking space. <p></p> or <p>&nbps;</p>
Some browsers will ignore the empty paragraph, others will render it
as a blank line.
The <p>&nbsp;</p> will render as a blank line. The line height, being
that of a paragraph plus paragraph margins, may be on the large side.
