Yes and no.  Some people like the idea of owning a
production cel (and will only buy such), and
others simply like the artwork.  As long as it is known
in advance if it is a production cel or not, it will 
have little effect on the hobby.  If anything, it will
expand it a bit.  However, anyone who tries to mislead 
people into buying their product should be taken out back
and shot.

Lets assume they have permission by the original copyright
holders to produce and sell these.  (as the eva handpainted
cels) Will that change anything?  The answer is yes...MORE
businesses would be selling them.  But as with the Eva
cels, people are still willing for pay THOUSANDS for an
original and not even consider the reproductions.  Point
being, the simple mindset that the cel isn't "real" makes
it less desireable.
