I'm not quite sure I follow you, but either with the proposed patch, or
what I take to be your suggestion here, `mark-paragraph' works quite
differently here than in Emacs 27, and we should get the previous
behaviour back.

With this buffer:


[-- Attachment #2: Type: image/png, Size: 3462 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 58 bytes --]


calling (mark-paragraph nil) gives me this in Emacs 27:


[-- Attachment #4: Type: image/png, Size: 3576 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #5: Type: text/plain, Size: 187 bytes --]


I.e., it selects the previous paragraph, even if you're at the end of
the buffer.
