Yes, it might be "impossible" to experience everything at the first run but FG games are not like The Walking Dead or Mass Effect. Especially when it comes to the second series, it's full of small or large choices so it makes replay-ability a must or at least fun. But, personally I don't think I would play the main game again just to find an extra small note or something. It would just bother me while playing the first run, not afterwards much. I'm not saying that I won't play the main game twice or more times, just that if I did it would't really be about a "secret" room. The article does say though that "the developers are still tweaking this feature to find the right balance" so I guess they know about it.

Amnesia had such an event when Daniel gets captured by the grunts. If you go at the capture area after having collected all the orb pieces, you will be captured and you won't get to see a part of the level at the east. If you don't have all of them though you can explore some other rooms that are not there after being captured (broken bridge).
