No, sysfs will silently "fail" if the symlink has already been removed.
At least that is what I saw last time I played with it.

I guess the question is what if sysfs handling changes in the future
and starts dropping warnings when trying to remove a symlink is not there.
Maybe that is unlikely to happen?
