Just tapped my Gose last night of which I added some lactic acid for extra tartness. After the fact, of course, I started wondering if this will ruin the plastic hoses in my kegerator? What do you guys think, will it sour everything that flows through it after?

No, its just acid. It doesn't contain acid forming bacteria that would sour future batches.
I ran 10 gallons of gose through my kegerator last summer with no ill effects, and the most recent batch just got kegged on Tuesday.
