Answer
It can freeze the event loop, causing a system bottleneck.
Blocking operations inside a WebFlux handler can stall the event loop, preventing other concurrent requests from being processed. If an e-commerce server's price update handler uses a blocking call, it could delay all updates and transactions, severely impacting performance.
