Would this cause any side-effects or just block all p2p traffic except http type?
All outgoing requests from hotspot users should be going to ports < 500 for the destination for any standard service correct?

there are a number of services that use ports above 500.
SIP: 5060 - VoIP would be cut off
IMAPS: 993 - Secure Imap mail connection
Any games that use ports over 500 obviously.
RDP: 3389 - Remote desktop connections
Its a bad idea to cut off all that access.
If anything you could perhaps tag traffic with dst port 1025-65535 and put a rate limit on it but not a good idea at all to block completely unless you have specific reason for doing so.
