My LO (7 months old) will only look for his thumb to suck when he is gg to sleep (he suckle his thumb to self soothe to sleep). Other than this, during play time he will not suck his thumb. Will this be an issue? Need to even stop him from sucking his thumb when he self soothe to sleep?

It will be an issue if he keeps depend on his thumb to fall asleep. You need to remove his thumb right away when he starts to suck it. There's a chance it might be an annoying habit when he gets older.
