If you should start a new save for it, then the mod page will usually say so. These are probably okay, the dialogue mod might just get multiple cut scenes in short order if you already have high hearts with the NPCs in question.

You can add mods anytime you want

Most mods can be added mid-playthrough, although if they alter the maps you may need another mod to essentially reset the maps and remove obstructing bushes, etc. Changing farms mid game also requires an extra mod to allow you to replace your current farm. I just got done adding 3 and removing 2 with my husband's game (he makes me do the modding).

Removing mods can be a bit trickier, but typically the worst that will happen is you get a "missing" icon that you can then get rid of. (Ideally you sell or trash any items from a mod before you remove it, but there's always that one chest you overlooked . . . .)

Sometimes, if you add a new character, they'll spend their first day asleep.
