$2000 seems like an astronomical cost for replacing a bearing in an axle - seems like you should be able to replace the entire 3rd member assembly for that price. I'd shop around to some local independent shops and get some other quotes before signing up for that cost at the dealership.
As for running in 4WD when it isn't needed the main side effect will be tire wear and weird handling around corners. If the average tire size between the front wheels and the back wheels isn't exactly the same (and it won't be) there will need to be slippage somewhere to compensate since the two axles are locked together. Also, when driving around corners the back wheels need to slip since they have a shorter arc to follow than the fronts. On a grippy surface this will typically cause lurching of the vehicle. Either way the torque loads on the drive components aren't any higher than what can be applied by the tire adhesion so I wouldn't think you'd cause physical damage by forgetting to disengage 4WD one time. However, if a component was on the verge of going out already the increased loads could certainly push it over the edge.
