I doubt it. The cited precedent of .yu didn't have a ton of big international commercial interest, but .io does.
They will absolutely find a rationale to change what io means when ISO retires io. The "laws" will be tweaked, ignored, or loopholed around.
They're not laws anyway. They are just things that ICANN say. It's very easy to change the rules it's not like they have to be consulted on or anything
