Do these appliances require any kind of provision to be made for

Dribble it into a little tray on top of the warm pump to evaporate?
There's not enough to require a proper drain, and there's enough
spare heat in the pump to take care of it.

Yup: The water drains into a tray on top of the compressor and
evaporates. Best not to buy one though.
I can't remember a fridge problem here that has not involved a frost
free appliance.

If the fridge is not perfectly horizontal, badly designed (Hotpoint)
ones can overflow before they fill.

They do not need to be "perfectly horizontal". Most are not.
Is yours?

Most are fine, but I've seen one with a shoddily designed tray which did have to be very level. I redesigned it a little.

"Yes, dear," replies her mother, pleased that the subject had finally come up and she wouldn't have to explain it.
"But then when I have a baby, won't it knock my teeth out?"
