How does this affect analytics on the hosting site? Will they get phantom requests for pages that might not ever be viewed?

Yes, but it's in concept always been true that they could get page views that wouldn't be viewed, whether due to bot scraping or even sometimes where a human clicks and then just... doesn't read it.
Analytics can detect prerendered pages and choose how they report them - GA ignores them I believe
