If they fail to do that correctly, will their package become
uninstallable due to unsatisfiable dependencies, or will it just get
normal unversioned dependencies on those libraries that don't provide a
version number?

If a maintainer enabled the _elf_require_fallback_versions macro before a mass rebuild where the _elf_provide_fallback_versions macro had been enabled globally, then the resulting package would have versioned dependencies, and the packages it depends on might not have versioned dependencies. That package wouldn't be installable.
