Can you imagine a 255 character System name! You couldn't use the CLI lol

No.
Once you put the command in switch, the switch name automatically change with out save but after that you need to put save command otherwise if you reboot the switch the previous name will occurred again.

It's not an intrusive command, you could change the switch's name on a production environment and save the configuration.
