In parameter inference, prior dependence will in principle vanish for strongly constraining data. A sensitivity analysis is mandatory for all Bayesian methods!

Regarding “propriety,” all that we really care about is that the posterior is proper, making it a valid pdf/pmf (which is clearly key to Bayesian inference)!.
