Yes, that could cause blocks to reach the max size of 4MBs per block, but still we should be okay.

There is a project on GitHub that excludes ordinals from being added to your node. It doesn't lead to a hard fork.

You mean patch by luke-jr? It only rejects them from the mempool, but you still store them after they are included in the blocks.
P.S. Inscriptions, not Ordinals. Ordinals are interpreation of relation between transaction inputs and outputs. Stuff that takes actual blockspace is Inscriptions.

It can’t be more than 4MB per block.
