Wow, spoiler alert please. I still haven't seen the original.
Seriously, the good news, unless I am mistaken, is that is not something that the audience knows today. (Was director's intent affirmed 100%?)
There are elaborate debates -- well aware of the arguments on either side -- about how Deckard may be human, or may be replicant in the first movie.
So the only spoiler is you don't know what Deckard is.
If it was a formally declared the answer, its news to me. Its true the body of opinion clusters in a certain direction, and scenes in the movie evoke certain implications.
It won't affect your viewing of the movie too much after all this time --- many elements that were avant garde in June 1982 will seem a bit `done already' to you depending on which movies you have seen. So you will probably notice the lush quality all the more in its theatrical sense of construction, mood, and track.
Addendum: Cinco Ranch Aggie's blue shifted post on page 1 is where I also understood the debate to stand. No "final call" has been declared.
