This can be a problem because a client device might see the stronger signal from the more distant AP and connect to it, but the client itself may not have the power to talk back to that AP effectively.
This is probably a much more common issue than most people realize. It's one of the ways mesh solves connection problems. When your AP is lower power and closer to the device it's much easier for smaller cheap wifi devices to actually talk back to the AP.

It never works as you expect. Your device will stay connected to the original AP until there is almost zero signal.
I help clients all the time at their house that do this exact mistake with multiple APs pushing out the same SSID and password.
Either use different SSIDs and manually switch to the better AP or use mesh/Unifi type setup where the APs talk to each other and do the handoffs.
