If the CONVAC bypass valve is wide open, won that reduce production?

Yes, but nowhere near as much as would a plugged pipeline. Reduced production caused by a wide-open CONVAC bypass valve is very short term. As soon as the velocity increases to a rate that is faster than the low velocity setpoint, the CONVAC system resumes normal operation. This is an emergency feature that will seldom be used if CONVAC is utilized correctly.
