The section won't show up in the navigation page in settings and the URL to get to this page will also not work (the user will just be redirected to the root of the Settings experience). Hopefully this will help address some of the concerns!

I just checked the "Block access to a list of URLs" GPO description and it explicitly states that:
"Note that blocking internal 'edge://*' URLs isn't recommended - this may lead to unexpected errors"
Did a quick test with the GPO setting; actually it only prevents you from opening the page via typing the URL in the address bar directly; it does not prevent you from accessing it via navigating in the setting menu
