For the simplicity of this discussion let's just focus on companies selling physical chiplets.
Assuming the company follows normal manufacturing processes (and assuming that company is "fabless" then this is a pretty safe assumption) then there is no risk of mixing different silicon from different vendors/fabs in a single package. This is being done today. Currently designers do have to take into account mixing parts that were designed for various package technologies. If a chip was designed for "flip-chp" and another chip for "wire-bond" then putting them both in the same package might require some different packaging techniques...
That said - I'd assume if a company was going to build a chip and specifically market it for this new UCIe standard then they'd probably target a WLCSP type final process which is fairly common today.
