I don't think the background impacts anything else. But who knows for sure in BG3. :)

There are a few dialogue options here and there, but mostly its the character goals where you get inspiration and bonus xp for acting in accordance with the background you picked

The backgrounds are when triggers inspiration points (used to re-roll bad rolls)

"When a character performs an action that's true to their Background, they will be Inspired. Inspiration may be spent to reroll an Ability Check. Note that you may hold four Inspiration points at once. Inspiration earned over the cap will become Experience Points." - wiki

I don't remember any lines marked with backgrounds, only classes and races.

As mentioned above, the backgrounds provide Inspiration points when you guess what the developers had in mind for a specific background. The feature seems lacking - there are no background-specific quests, lines, and the logic behind Inspirations is unclear (e.g., 2 different Urchins may have very different roleplay styles while it would not change the requirements for the Inspiration points).

So far as I can see, they only impact what gives you inspiration points.

Backgrounds gives xp when they proc. I see Urchin, Folk Hero and Charlatan popping a lot.

Backgrounds are mostly pointless - it's just a"nice touch", it doesn't affect the plot whatsoever.

From what I can tell, "Noble" background has an upper hand in some regard - because across your party there's nobody but Minthara who'll have this, but you're very unlikely to have her as a companion considering you'll have to lose 3 other companions.

So.. your MC being a "Noble" means you'll have extra events and so additional ways to get inspiration points. I think the same applies to some few other backgrounds, I'd need to check.
