I wouldn't worry about it, no. The example would be less hypothetical
if you used SMB rather than NFS, but even so, in the worst case one of
the machines will disable the file-lock-checks, which is no worse than
what we had before (where the Windows machine had the file-lock-checks
disabled).
A much more likely scenario is to see users complain/worry on
gnu.emacs.help about weird files appearing on their systems, then
discovering that come from their new Emacs, and finally asking how to
get rid of "this stupid new feature".
