This will permanently restrict growth. It depends on the chances of blowing it up by not doing anything. I cannot make the call. I have seen them break and have the pumpkin keep growing.

How many days old is it. How fast is it growing.
Can you post a pic?

Paul,

Is this for the one with the stem split?

Would cutting the stem, part way, direct pumpkin growth to one part of the pumpkin, increasing the chance of damage to the pumpkin? Will it help to just cut the main after the pumpkin?
