Changes in cache - yes.
Unclean - yes.
Unusable - No. Well, depends on what fs you use, actually :)

it will be no worse than a server power failure: If you use ext3 (or
any other journaling filesystem that can withstand power failure),
then  it should be able to replay filesystem journal automatically on
mounting to give you a usable filesystem.
