After some advice guys. I am having a hot water lead pipe replaced in my bathroom. While doing this, I have noticed that we have a cold feed lead pipe also going to the bathroom. My question is - will a cold feed lead pipe cause any problems in future? My hot feed has caused too many issues hence replacement, but I really don't want hassle with the cold feed in future but replacement of that pipe is ALOT of hassle.

Depends what is wrong if the hot pipe has been leaking chances are the cold is in a similar state. If it is some other reason you are changing it leave it alone.
If you do have leaks it may be due to the lead pipe crystallizing, small crystals form in the lead and crack if the pipe is moved.

It's not unusual
