The fear is not so much of being banned from entry.
It's that they'll let in a crew member, and then when they show up at Shanghai or Beijing immigration to operate back to HKG, they are flagged because the facial recognition database came up with a hit of them participating/watching/in the vicinity of a protest. Then they'll be led away by airport police and just disappear into the gulag. CX will likely just call in a reserve, and the flight will operate, with some delay. It'd be a little ironic though, considering the original reason for the protests..
