Nothing special. The old clients never send that request, they just
commit as before. Of course, the pre-commit is still free to reject
improperly-formatted log messages, as it has always been.
This is why I think the log-template hook should not have the ability
to abort the commit; that should remain the province of the pre-commit
hook. After all, one might commit with -F or -m, and bypass any
possible template mechanism entirely. So pre-commit still handles
enforcement; log-template just helps the client comply.
(By the way, when a new client sends the request to an old server, it
just gets an error back and eats the error, pretending to the user
that nothing happened.)

I haven't been able to think of a way to avoid the extra request even
when there's no hook on the server side. On the other hand, we don't
know that it would actually cause responsiveness problems anyway.
