Tend to NACK
- The documentation (
-helpor-?) is already pretty clear on this being an amount and not a flag - This is a translation string, so all translations are invalided, for little reason. Also, it complicates translations
- The underlying bug should be fixed. See util: Fail to parse empty string in ParseMoney #18225

FWIW debug logs already do it:
src/qt/bitcoinstrings.cpp:137:QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("bitcoin-core", "Invalid amount for -fallbackfee=<amount>: '%s'"),
src/wallet/wallet.cpp:3799: error = strprintf(_("Invalid amount for -fallbackfee=<amount>: '%s'").translated, gArgs.GetArg("-fallbackfee", ""));
