Not really. Flash communicates to the server in a way that is shared with HTML5 (or more precisely, the JavaScript code that would be behind the HTML5 tech that eventually presents the game to the player).

 My general understanding is that before now, at worst, Viewers would be negativly impacted as they would not be able to access the information they normally would and so some workarounds would need to happen...

Again, no major impact. I don't think they'd change the way KC communicates with the servers in a major way to ease migration, and since communication would remain the same, viewers should have minimal problems adapting.

KC3 and poi should come off the least affected since they are based on Chrome/Chromium which already supports HTML5; my concern is EO and KCV since AFAIK they rely on Microsoft's components to display web pages, which IIRC is based off IE; not sure if that's HTML5-compliant (maybe on Win8+?)
