The client only maps "\" to an innocent unicode character. The server does nothing with that unicode character at all. It just stores it as it is - unless you configure via vfs fruit that you want to convert it to native encoding. But that's actually nothing that cifs vfs has to worry about. Even without an our mapping of "\" we can simply create unicode 0xF021 now on a remote SMB server. And the smb mac clients already do it anyway.
