I am doubtful. Can you give an example of one such proposal, and its practical consequences? (Note that the claim is that physics is solved for all practical purposes, not that it is completely solved.)
Well several variants of vacuum energies, vacuum fluctuations, etc.
Practical consequence if true is that conservation of energy no longer holds as we understand it today. i.e. there could be a potentially accessible source of infinite energy.
Obviously not in the foreseeable future but it would go from strictly impossible to not so, thus implicating many things.
And since conservation of energy is just about the most fundamental theory there is, I can’t any imagine any thing else that could have a larger practical consequence.
