Older hardware or software terminals will ignore any escape sequences they don't recognise, it won't result in any "extra junk" (I'm using Zsh with the configuration I posted on a VT520 without problem). This is the openssh list so I wasn't going to go into the details of it, but roughly the shell would first detect likely support via $TERM or another method (there are reporting sequences for what key modes are enabled / supported which for example is how Vim does this) then enable the mode if needed.
