First of all, backups shouldn't be schedule during peak or business hours. However, RMAN backup are far better than the user managed hot backups in terms of redo, availablity, performance and etc. restore validate, I guess, didn't touch the live database, rather simply check the backup copies validity.

What is the impact of running an rman hot backup followed by a "restore validate" on application performance? Is there any possibility of applications or transactions being blocked during the backup and validate process? My environment is 10.2.0.2.0 Enterprise Edition running on HP-UX B.11.23.
