I have not noticed any differences as the plants mature.
Blue Java is a "leaner" in general and needs support at point of fruiting no matter if it was a water sucker or sword sucker as a juvenile plant.
If you refer to the bad history of the mother plant, I would rather look into the conditions this plant has grown: light, soil, fertilizer, water, climate etc. If these conditions are not ideal, your plant will not do well.
