It certainly doesn't seem to make much difference whether heaven is a place or a state of existence while we are on this side of the void...

But it does make a difference. It affects us how we believe and what we believe, and how we tailor our lives in that belief.

Perhaps. The idea of separation from God with Hell should be obvious, whether one can think abstractly or prefers anthropomophic language. In either case, a person should fear that separation.
