But then UK instances won't be able to federate with non-UK instances, right? Can this even be enforced?

I can't see why that would be the case. The UK users using the UK instance would still have had their ages checked. As far as I understand it doesn't matter where the adult material on the site has come from. It's not a law to try to protect against the creation of material by people who aren't verified, but rather try to reduce the amount of under 18s accessing material.
