Perhaps because you're not using xinit to start X?

As the suckless.org page states, it is a property of the root window, so no. It will affect everything forever... until you restart X, or change the property again.
That being said, I've had wmname LG3D in my .xinitrc for years now, and it's never interfered with anything as far as I can tell.
As for what "LG3D" is, apparently it used to be some wacky Java 3D window manager back in the magical times when that sounded like a good idea.
