You still have a couple of millenia before they come into existance so you're all good... : P

I don't think so - the damaged city center tile is still protected from submerging completely by being a city. It is sad that this issue doesn't get fixed despite being reported a while ago:

We all know the tendency of the barb mode causing "polar station CSs" - but just don't think that you can evade bad placement by playing maps without polar terrain like TSL Mediterranean...

Have a canal and panama canal combo here which turned this inland lake into a passable waterway for ships

I put him in my TSL huge Earth game. What a disappointment he is. He just chooses the first possible spot without looking around first. He didn't even go for New Zealand, though New Zealand is a bit weak on Firaxis huge Earth map, but at least it would have been better than the 1 tile island he chose.
He ended up in my Mediterranean map game as well. I went with random civs since I wasn't using the TSL option since I was playing Khmer. He chose to settle in England, and also across the water in the Belgium area. He just recently put one city in Northern Spain which he'll probably lose on loyalty at some point to the Babylonians (who ended up in Spain).
Actually saw the AI take a free city (for the first time, I think) in Dramatic Ages yesterday. (This was a test with @Infixo 's "Real Strategy", which is a bit out of date but worked quite well here. Look at the army strength! Also used other mods here, so take it with a grain of salt.)
Germany completely fell apart in the middle of a continent, and I watched the surrounding powers agonizingly tiptoeing around the free cities for an age or two, seemingly not noticing that their units were getting shot at by the city centres. (They were all in dark ages at the same time, so the free cities stayed stable for a while)
In the left picture it looks like the Chinese (or Monty) will take over a very weak Berlin in two or three turns, but they managed to waffle around for 10 more turns before finally taking on the city (which was weak and needed about three shots). They then immediately razed it and, somewhat impressively, bought the nitre tile next to it. (They have even brought a builder!)
So they can do it, it's just that the strategy trigger to do it very rarely fires (they got hungry for nitre here). I used to think free cities are simply invisible to the AI...

Ah yes, the quiet and creepy kid in classes
Ah yes I remember learning about the fearsome Babylonian Caroleans and how they built the Statue of Zeus, because apparently the Hanging Gardens were actually in Nineveh.
I really hope he doesn't build anything on that desert tile until he unlocks Radio because I think it would be a great seaside resort.Excellent choice, Kupe... excellent choice!
When did the Maori take over Dubai?I really hope he doesn't build anything on that desert tile until he unlocks Radio because I think it would be a great seaside resort.
Well artificial palm islands would make the city a lot better.When did the Maori take over Dubai?
It's really the only reason why I want it as a city-state now.

Nope. I guess he just had nothing better to do with that piece of sand
