Not relevant and not detrimental to any SEO. Country domains are not negatively impacted via Google. 5-10yra ago maybe. But not today. With the invent of .food, .stocks and other domain extensions this acceptance will continue.

Here are some examples, where I'm sure it had your name, and now does not. They are all in my journal:
Just a quick word, since I have not posted here much lately.
I am tied up with a number of other projects, some trading-related, some not. Right now, and until ???, I am on an extended break from my thread. Sometime, no doubt, I'll get back to …
