GNU/Fucsia would probably end up similar to GNU/Hurd in that case, or Apple's MkLinux.

I'm guessing that depends on how big the pile of Fuchsia-compatible device drivers grows and how badly people running open source OSes want to use that hardware.
Where there's a demand for a particular class of device, maybe someone will create a shim? Then the kernel folks can have a debate.
Currently though, I think Linux has a big head start.
