No, definitely not! Gavin is absolutely right. If an EtherCAT slave does 
not conform to specification, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DISTRIBUTE it. You 
as a customer have the right to request the Certificate of Conformance 
from a vendor when buying an EtherCAT device. He must produce a valid, 
up-to-date certificate, otherwise he's in breach with the contract he 
signed with Beckhoff when obtaining his Vendor ID. It is in the keen 
interest of Beckhoff that only conforming slaves are on the market. It 
is a simple as that.

So, if it cannot handle SDO's, it is non-conforming and you should not 
use it!
