I'd worry more about society than the resurrected individuals, I think. Specifically, I think that people (in general) have enough adaptability that, despite how we portray them in science fiction, you could probably tell an ancient person "yeah, we have indoor plumbing and talk to people over Zoom, now," and they'll learn to live with it. Actually, if I remember correctly, people getting indoor plumbing *today* often need more reinforcement than people getting telecommunications, because they (fairly legitimately) don't like high toilets, even if it means less disease. By contrast, we've spent a lot of (especially recent) history struggling to overcome caste, sexism, casual violence, and more. I'd worry much more about unleashing millions or billions of people who don't believe in science or human rights, but do enjoy animal torture...and also want to use the local park as their bathroom. That maybe gets to the caveat in the question of *why* they want to bring so many people back, because learning about history first hand differs from a labor force, which has different weird boundaries than a politically regressive voting bloc...
