Now, Article 26 says that the Commissioner can impose fines based on perceived cap circumvention for any reason so there could still be issues, but I don't see any direct provisions of what if a team does have a healthy player coming off LTIR but doesn't have the means to activate them due to cap issues. It simply says player can't play.

Well what if they intentionally went out and made the Walman trade with the expectation that they'd just sit Kane until the start of the playoffs and claim he wasn't ready yet?
