Possible. gaining a celestial force is what protects
an Ethereal from being dramshaped into anything - or
out of existence. So other beings without celforces
could be equally at risk.

Nup. A figment can leave a domain or other dreamscape;
the reason they rarely survive is other ethereals
consider them snacks. Although a  celestial must have
at least one celforce, an ethereal only requirement is
an ethforce (EPG p10). An ethereal without celforces
can still have elements and affinities; and Vessels -
in fact Sorcerers wouldn't be able to Summon them on
low CDs else.

Interesting post though!
