Looks like clang supports anonymous struct parameter all the way back to 
c89. I tried clang12 and latest clang16.

$ cat t.c
typedef char * const * (*fn_ptr2_t)(struct {
         int a;
}, int (*)(int));
fn_ptr2_t h;
$ clang -S -emit-llvm -g -std=c89 t.c
$ clang -S -emit-llvm -g -std=c11 t.c
$ clang -S -emit-llvm -g -std=c17 t.c
]$ clang -S -emit-llvm -g t.c
$ gcc -v -S t.c
...
GNU C17 (GCC) version 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-17) 
(x86_64-redhat-linux)
...
t.c:1:37: warning: anonymous struct declared inside parameter list will 
not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
  typedef char * const * (*fn_ptr2_t)(struct {
                                      ^~~~~~
...

I agree that we should understand better about standard requirement
before making the change.
