By cutting back it will not damage the plants, BUT could lose food for
late moths as weather is still warmish, also losing seed heads for
overwinter bird food.
That said it is your chioce. You could always place a birdfeeder somewhere
convenient for the wild birds and feed them that way, fat balls are useful
going through Autumn and Winter.
Incidentally "OT" Red Hot Poker is a wonderful bird food plant for
spring, Good to see birds hanging from the flowers feeding.

When you say "food for late moths" are you suggesting late flowers?

(Even though the weather up to a few days ago was warmish, our buddleias
are well and truly over)
