I apologise for not having much knowledge of these engines....but to hazard a few guesses...I wouldn't say that the compression ratio would be much different on the N/A D to the TD engine so that won't be much of an issue. Other than alterations to the exhaust (unless a NA one bolts on?), blocking off the oil feed and return for the turbo I wouldn't have thought on a basic engine like the 200 TDi you would have a problem.
Do they have an oil cooler? Doubt you would need that if you were changing it to NA so that may as well be taken off and blocked off.

Do a search on the net and compare the stats of the NA and the TD, that will give you an idea! I don't think the turbos will be that big so won't be a huge loss in power, but you will notice the difference a fair bit I would have thought.
You are giving the engine less stress so I can't see why there should be any reliability issues. Good idea to check the air fuel mix across the rev range I'd say just to be on the safe side.
I am sure the sump plugs blank the holes off perfectly on the 200TDi which savs you scrabbling around for bolts. But of course I could be imagining that.
