That's my assumption. They'll just force open all the big ones, with or without demodding them all.
No way they let something as big as funny and videos(among many others) just shut down for days...

They wouldn't be forced open with zero mods, obviously. They'll find volunteers.
I would expect that if mass demoddings happen though you would see some sort of weird civil war on Reddit emerge though where outraged users would support spamming these subs in the way you describe specifically to ensure that their prophecy is fulfilled. You can even see people hoping for it in this thread already.
Finding replacement volunteers with no experience and short notice is unlikely to work well... and worse if they include people with an agenda against the current mods.
