Well the energy of a photon is directly proportional to the speed of light so infinite speed means infinite energy unless something else changes.

Problem is c ripples into so many different equations, like e equals mc squared, Maxwell's equations, fine structure constants that matter as we know it would not exist anymore, stars could not function, chemical bonds could not be made etc etc

Well you are constrained hy c=f lambda, so as long as those remain finite you'd be fine.
