My server is open to the internet so I'd like to maintain
compatibility with as many clients as possible, but I don't serve any
java apps. Given that, will DHE params larger than 1024 bits affect
my compatibility?

If so, I believe a DHE of 1024 bits opens me to the LogJam attack, so
if I disable DHE entirely will that affect my compatibility?
