However, it should be clear that such transactions are a risky proposition; at best, allowing a given transaction A not to be two-phase amounts to a gamble that no interfering transaction B will ever coexist in the system with A (for if it does, then the system overall has the potential to produce wrong answers)

I asked since I thought it should be "If it will" because of "will" in " no interfering transaction B will ever coexist in the system w"

But it's not "if it will" because of "if", right?

Yes. The presence of "if" influences the tense you can use.
