Mode Sense (6) supports a 32-bit number for the maximum block count, where Mode Sense (10) supports a 64-bit number for the count. The Seagate SCSI Commands Reference Manual from 2016, has this to say about a "Short LBA mode parameter block descriptor" as returned by Mode Sense (6):
> On a MODE SENSE command, if the number of logical blocks on the
> medium exceeds the maximum value that is able to be specified in
> the NUMBER OF LOGICAL BLOCKS field, the device server shall return
> a value of FFFFFFFh.
Similarly, the Read Capacity (10) command should return FFFFFFFFh if the capacity of the drive exceeds 2^32 sectors, and that a driver should then know to use Read Capacity (16) if it supports that command.
There may be an unexpected side-effect if presenting a drive of more than 2^32 sectors to a legacy host that does not support devices that large. The Read Capacity commands specify the value returned as the last addressable sector on the device. This means that typically, an application which uses the value returned by that command is going to add 1 to it to get the actual number of blocks on a given device. If the program is not aware of Read Capacity (16), and is not using greater than 32-bit math, then it might report to the user that the total number of sectors on the drive as 0. I don't view this as a huge problem, however. In that case, the legacy driver wouldn't correctly support the capacity of the drive anyway, so providing that driver with a device that is 2 ^ 32 sectors or larger wouldn't make sense from the user perspective.

* Add ModeSense page 0x25 (DECSpecialFunctionControlPage)
VAXServer 3100 (CPU KA41-E) console firmware issues ModeSense(6)
page 0x25 when probing for disks. A disk won't be recognized if
this returns an error.
The DEC SCSI specification[1], section 8.5 documents this page.
