If I'm reading this right, it *would* cause massive problems on the English Wikipedia, with templates like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:S-start and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:S-end (170,303 transclusions).

Are there any wikitext constructions that are actually going to be deprecated?
I'm not privy to the architecture decisions, but I'm pretty sure that the absolute worst monstrosity is the possibility of opening markup in a (possibly deeply recursive or, worse, conditional) template that is closed in a different template. Getting it rid of /just/ that would lose us no content (though it would break some frankenstein-grade markup) and gain us a couple orders of magnitude in parsoid reliability and simplicity.
And probably would make most of the VE team cry in relief.
