I cannot imagine this would stop anyone from upgrading. It's one additional
flag, which was already a requirement for those going the other direction
in the past (checksums -> no checksums). And I also assume that "most
people" are already running with checksums enabled.

Seems very unlikely, that would kind of go against the whole purpose of
pg_upgrade.
