Before it might have had a transition date that is wrong, now it will not have any transitions at all. In the absolute, wouldn't that make more timezone with more dates that are wrong than is currently the case?

Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell, without knowing the actual facts, which we don't know and in many cases are not likely to ever know. We are talking about differences that are typically on the order of an hour or less, in areas and eras in which local timekeeping was neither accurate nor precise, so it's likely a question that doesn't have all that much meaning.
