Can we say before this date, if your submitted games don't work properly on ps5 during cert, Sony will have to tidy things for you.Not really - it's a new TRC item, so the responsibility is 100% on Sony CERT testing what gets through or not. Which is how consoles always worked, including Microsoft or Nintendo ones when you have multiple compatible hardware SKUs out there. Noone is insane enough to 'cross their fingers and hope it'll just work' after testing one SKU.
To stay with Sony - this has been a standard practice for the past 20 years - including the full BC transitions(the 99.99% compatible ones). Every Gen/Major revision cross-compatibility checks were added to the TRC close to launch (PS1->PS2, PS2->PS2 7XXX, PS2->PS3, PS4->PS4Pro etc.).
After this date, if your games fail ps5 cert, Sony throws it back at you to tidy things?
As for MS because of virtualization, either scenario should be a smaller tweaks at either ends to pass certification. Or in other words, both scenarios won't happen because it just 'work' , to a certain dev friendly degree
