It being effective or not depends on their true intent, which we don't know for sure.
I'm pretty sure F2Pool (China) was already caught censoring transactions multiple times.

It is important to me because it's an attack vector and I like to know about these things. If it's not important to you, it's all good 🤝
If different pools censor different transactions it can delay them but won't prevent them. I don't think it would have any effect on L2 either.
You're right, it is important to think about. I guess I'm more focused in node implementation centralized and arbitrary data storage attacks right now.
