I have an existing publication that has aroung 15 articles (tables) Some of these tables have 2+ million rows, so obviously, I would like to filter them.

If I set a filter on some of these, will I need to re-initialize the publication before it's effective?

For tables (articles) with existing data I believe you will need to re-initialize. If you are adding new articles you may be able to use the the @force_reinit_subscription parameter of sp_addmergefilter to add a filtered article without requiring a re-initialization.
