Nothing you've ever delivered looks quite like you think it does with this workflow. Will people notice watching on their terrible ancient TVs/monitors/phones? Maybe not. Is it correct? No.
And even if there is 0.2 gamma difference (crushed/raised shadows) will they know it should not be there? No.
Not going to mention colors as this will be all over the place (due to inaccuracy in viewing devices) and no one will have any clue.
Problems could come up during some proper QC, but even then if this is not crazy bad no one will mention it as creative decisions are not part of QC evaluation. They will complain if you have eg. raised black level, but if just shadows are raised then this is mostly not mentioned.
If you use Netflix just for fun open same title in Chrome and Safari. Both are color managed, but for unknown reason video will look so different. Chrome version is also so over-compressed compared to Safari. Looks like Chrome uses lower resolution and refuses to switch to better ones. It's crazy.
