Yes, with a 3GD collapse, the world would instantly lose about 15% of its manufacturing capacity, and the supply chain would be stressed, probably beyond its ability to adjust for. It would take years, maybe decades, to redirect manufacturing capabilities to other countries and establish transportation and supply chains. Our whole world could change in about 1 hour, and we wouldn't know it until our useless "media" informed the world.
To me it's ironic that it was an old CHINESE curse, "May you live in interesting times" that now comes to mind. We are indeed living in interesting times.
