If it's an insulating glass unit, there will be dessicant material
inside the spacer. Normal IGUs use butyl rubber sealant between the
spacer and glass to keep air and moisture our and argon in.

A few holes may get rid of the moisture for some time, but if there's a
low emissivity coating inside, that may turn grey after some time.

IGUs can't be fixed properly so that they would keep their thermal
properties. But I think John lives in rather warm conditions, so that
is probably not an issue.
