Good question...I dont know.I guess it could hurt the starter gear or lock it up.

But probably nothing...

I don't think it would. I think that at the worst it'll just skip the starter by one tooth, or who knows, if it happens to stop right at the starter, it may not catch on?

The missing tooth will eventually chew up the starter gear and make more missing teeth.

It could cause more damage to other teeth if it repeatedly hits on the same spot where the tooth is missing, but what are the chances, You never know where it going to stop, or where th starter is going to engage, Its a Gamble.

My mom had a lincoln that knocked a few teeth of the ring gear, she used to grab a wrench from the trunk turn the crank and start it when that happened. I was like 4 years old then.

Wouldn't it be obvious if a tooth was missing?

Anyway, I'm guessing the flywheel would work in a pinch...but it's bound to create problems later on.

It will eventually chew up the starter gear, and such and that will damage more teeth.

I have not had a Mustang stick car, but on many flywheels, I believe you can replace the ring gear if you have to. May make the cost of the whole deal too high though.
