Yes. SQL takes CPU cycles and IO. Those are finite so anything using them takes away from your game server. So unless you have four cores and enough memory to not have be a true limit, the only thing to do is try it out if SQL has enough impact to be noticable.

a mysql server, whilst small uses resources and disk IO. So yes, it will marginally affect the performance of your minecraft server.

However, if you have enough spare resources, hosting it on the same server reduces latency and time taken to make an SQL request. It can also slightly reduce cost as you dont have to pay for 2 machines.
