Cons of Keeping Incubator Temperature Low?

[Hufflefluff]

Hi!
So, essentially, I'm hatching eggs with a Brinsea Mini Eco; today is day 10. I can only adjust the temp with a screwdriver, and 1/4 turn is about four degrees, so I have to be very careful. I haven't adjusted the temperature since I set the eggs, because I know that too high of temps can be deadly for the embryos. Right now, I'm averaging about 97 degrees- it's a forced air model.
When I candled 2 days ago, I saw definite development in around 1/2 the eggs, as well as some darker shelled ones that I couldn't tell for certain.
So, are there any other main cons of keeping the temperature low? Should I try to adjust it? Will eggs still hatch when the incubator is at 97 degrees?
Thanks for any help

Low temps result in delayed development and hatches and increases the risk of developmental problems.
