Sticker themes would depend on those patches, but that isn't a big deal
*imho*... to quote tdeskop's source:

Afterall, tdesktop allows `-D DESKTOP_APP_USE_PACKAGED_RLOTIE=ON` so I
was inclined to make use of that in order to shrink down the tdesktop
port as best as possible, since it does make maintaining/testing/fixing
(on a slow machine) easier for me.

None that I am aware of at this point.

Then again, rlottie upstream (Samsung) seems to have abandoned their
rlottie libary in favour of yet another library[0], so I see little
chances in upstreaming important fixes/patches from consumers like
tdesktop.

I'll defer this port and tdeskop's usage for now and see how things turn
out, thanks for your input.
