I think not supporting @font-face would suck, but not enough to destroy 
the feature. Not supporting the others seems more serious. If nobody 
implements them, then the spec will eventually say they aren't to be 
implemented. If anyone ever does implement them, then they'll be something 
to implement for compatibility.

Generally though it seems lame to not support them. :-)
