So other than the obvious lack of reproduction equipment, how will this effect him?

Yes there is a cloacal opening...
I had a couple tail- less before that I presumed had their tails amputated from biting older babies, that now I believe are just like this one.... They were all from same mom as the twin creature mentioned on my other post. They are doing fine at around. 4-6 months. So I believe this one will be ok as a pet for someone.

My baby is tail-less too. I'm a new tortoise mom, so I didn't realize until today that its unusual.
Where did you get the tortoise from? Have you been able to check that the cloaca works?
