What happens if folks can somehow obtain IPv4 address blocks
but the cumulative route load from all of these non-hierarchical
blocks prevents ISP's from routing them?

Presumably, the folks with the non-hierarchical address space that might get filtered would have potentially limited connectivity (as opposed to no connectivity if they didn't have IPv4 addresses).
