It wouldn't affect the ranking. But, I suggest to use cache plugins to keep the file path static.

It will affect the SEO slightly but if you keep the same URL structure then it's all fine.

Themes can impact factors important for SEO such as your website’s stability, speed, content, metadata, and indexation. However, when done right, changing themes can maintain or even improve your SEO rankings
By changing a website’s theme, all of the factors can be both positively or negatively influenced.

Is the new theme displaying the same textual content as the original? Or is it adding additional bloat to each page (boilerplate content, javascript libraries, inline css, etc)?
Do you have access to a CDN that allows A/B split testing?
It might be best to try out your new theme on some sort of staging area, so you can measure and compare speed metrics and page bloat.

Google sometimes likes to randomly de index pages that have any large changes, however I don't think theme changes will effect that. It may still effect your ranking either short term or long term depending on the theme with user readability changes, speed, etc.

Changing the theme doesn't affect rankings at all unless you change the internal linking structure.

I don't know much about themes that are super fast. I personally use themes like Jannah and Rehub which are decent.

GeneratePress and Popcorn Theme are awesome.
Do you have AMP on your site? You might want to check if it helps you with mobile loading speeds.

The effects would be less or nothing at all if the theme doesn't impacts on the performance of the site, like speed.

Jannah look amazing. Is it highspeed for the mobile. Still attempting to determine which theme to change to. My current theme records relatively high speed. but i fear it will slow as the more articles get posted.

Changing theme can cause issues. If you worried about problems, ask someone with experience to handle it for you.

It wont affect the ranking, as long as you have the same URL linking to other websites
