Unless you have a 100Mbit+ internet connection it would not be a bottleneck at all, since the WAN port isn't part of your LAN. The WAN port only provides the LAN with internet access. If your internet connection is faster than 100Mbit, it would be a bottleneck for your internet connection, since it can't handle anything faster than that.

View the router as a regular PC with a 100Mbit ethernet port (the WAN port) and a separate 1000Mbit ethernet port with a switch attached to it. As far as the LAN is concerned, it's just a 1000Mbit switch on which one host is providing/sharing its internet connection.
