It will reduce the draft, and may cause condensation issues.
The cement board is typically an acceptable fire protection, if you install it with 1" spacers behind it. Zero-clearance board is preferrable (2" thick mineral wool board), and is rated for (as the name implies) zero clearance to the flue pipe. Just use fender washers and decently-long sheetrock screws.
