No, it seems even initialized dynptr can be NULL at runtime. Look at
both ringbuf_submit_dynptr and ringbuf_discard_dynptr.
The verifier won't know after ringbuf_reserve_dynptr whether it set it
to NULL or some valid pointer.

dynptr_init is basically that stack slot is now STACK_DYNPTR, it says
nothing more about the dynptr.

As far as testing this goes, you can pass invalid parameters to
ringbuf_reserve_dynptr to have it set to NULL, then make sure your
helper returns an error at runtime for it.
