Default Washout?

I picked up a project that was supposed to be built with 1.5 degrees
of washout towards the end of the wings. The builder unfortunately
built them without washout, because while his workmanship was actually
quite good he was worried he wouldn't be able to match the wings and
one would drop in a stall.

Before I rebuild the wings, what disadvantages am I looking at keeping
things as they are besides the whole wing stalling at once? Any other
aerodynamical problems? And could I cheat a fix by using VGs on the
outer part of the wing?

Put stall strips on the inboard section of wings.
