You can see all four corners of the big blue box in Shanghai, which is impressively appalling. Here are some images for your viewing displeasure. Hopefully this post is allowed, I know pictures of nudity are frowned upon.
First is a view from within the land, second is some side- from Celebration Cafe, third is the rear end from the Toy Story Hotel. These do not directly apply to MK, but that doesn't mean it won't have its own issues.
Arguably worse is when you get up close. The ride has you blatantly entering the show building, and people watching can get a similarly-bad view.
Photos are from Attractions 360 and Theme Park University.
There are plenty more pictures I could include but you get the point. They kind of threw in the towel on this one. It would be naive to think that this lower standard won't exist in MK's. I hope for the best but fear for the worst.

The concept art (could change) clearly shows the blue box behind the canopy. My concern is more around the view from the entrance/entry to the park and from the Contemporary hotel. Trees could do a lot to hide. Perhaps we will see some light theming. It's fun to speculate and worry 
On the interior queue view I would suggest some circuit board paint scheme. Cheap and in theme.

Here's the view from the Contemporary. The white outline is the big box, the blue is the canopy...
Here's an even more disheartening view from the Contemporary...

Nice work ! Looks like trees could easily hide most of it and being able to see the glow of the canopy is a plus IMHO
Thanks for making this!

Nobody seems to care about the slight lines of Space Mountain, that's quite an eyesore you know

Space mountain is not an unthemed show building from any visible angle.Nobody seems to care about the slight lines of Space Mountain, that's quite an eyesore you know

My point is, unless its just grossly visible from every angle in the park, does it really matter? Space doesn't bother me, but just funny that a box would but not a concrete building with "themeing". Just my 2 cents.

I wouldn't think the difference would need explaining.

Those trees just need to grow in a little more and I'm sure it'll be hidden. Surprised they didn't paint in go away green!Here's an even more disheartening view from the Contemporary...

I know the difference, I think we tend to blow things out of proportion, this being one of those times. Will it be viable? Probably. Will it change the way you perceive Magic Kingdom as a whole? Probably not.
Does Rock'in Roller Coaster ruin DHS for you?

The Rock'n Roller Coaster gravity building was designed to be a 'soundstage' in a park meant to be a studio full of 'soundstages.'
MK is not supposed to be a park full of warehouses.

Agreed.
Some things need complete theming.
FoP wouldn't work in Pandora for instance as an unthemed show building.
But seeing part of a building in Tommorowland?
Doesn't bother me any more than RnR like you said.

Just my humble option, but I feel it was just nice convenience to "design" it as a soundstage.

I won't disagree that it was convenient. But it worked. We can't say for sure what they would have done had the soundstage option not been fitting or if they would have built it in its current form at all.
In the case of tron they didn't even try.

Well, at least they themed the Flight of Passage and Nav'i buildings, that could have been a disaster.
