The only risk of not filing an amendment is that when USCIS does site visits based on the work address you provided when you filed H1b, and they can't locate you there then they will attempt to revoke your H1b. For their internal audit, H1b selects a pool of random applications for site visits, so the probability of getting picked for site visits may be very low. Many people at least file the new labor certifications based on the new address, so I would suggest you to at least file the new labor if you don't want to go with the amendment option.
Usually amendment requires when there is a "material change" in your job. USCIS interprets this term differently. Very often, they interpret "material change" as when your job title/job duties change, and sometimes they argue that location change is a "material change" as well. In any case, you need to file a new labot at least (this is mandatory BTW unless your location is within the same metropolitan area).
