Say you customise the templates outside your custom-set-variables
block. Now if you use the customise your templates with customize and
save them, it will be saved in the custom-set-variables block. For the
current session of emacs you might not experience any problems, but
when you restart emacs depending on which comes first the setq or the
custom-set-variables your templates will be set accordingly. It is
difficult to predict for me which will be the case. For more on this
you can look here[1].

Hope this helps you understand the issue with what you are attempting.
