%zd and %zu are supported by the runtime library, not by the compiler.
It's likely that tcc is configured to use something like msvcrt.dll,
which typically doesn't support C99 features.

No, code does not break if you use size_t.

Baby X doesn't expose any size_ts in its API, so code written for Baby X
should work fine under tcc. Code written for other toolkits will fail if at
any time you format a size_t for user display.

size_t was widely used prior to C99 and the introduction of %zu.
