I feel like Ability Patch removing an ability is fine.

But I think the other effects requiring specific caveats attached to them (like no Eevee line crap or Fizzy forms being a thing) should maybe disqualify them. At the moment, given the possibility of Fizzy Forms and potential evolutions to lines, I'm leaning towards a hard no still.

With Regional Variants, we can easily say that they're only valid if the form is a branch in the evolutionary line (i.e. Raichu can have Surge Surfer because it had a choice between the two forms when evolving, but Corsola cannot have Perish Body because outside of name, it's effectively a separate line altogether). Since all of the entrants in the Fizzy Fright Fest covered the entire evolutionary line for their submissions anyway, codifying that into an actual rule in future competitions would let this prevent any Ability Patch-related cheese from that side of things.

I think the best thing with patches is just ability removal. Trying to get into semantics about explicit exceptions just causes the mechanic to be a lot more convoluted than necessary.

Coming in here as A moderator:
Ability Capsules will now be live for 1,000$ purchasable at the Dept. Store with the text included that it can change a Pokemon's ability to one's choice given that the Pokemon can have that ability naturally A announcement along with the items will be up sometime soon. In the meantime, This thread will remain open for further Discussion on Ability Patches.

Since it's been over a month since there was a post here... Does anyone have any objections to Ability Patches just being a Held Item that neutralizes the Pokemon's Ability?

Yes. While this is likely fine long term, I am against putting these out in any capacity at the moment as FB's economy is already in massive flux. It can wait a couple months until we have a solid idea of where the game needs to go moving forward.
