My experience has been that the non signatory countries are at least as strict as UNCLOS signatories, but in many cases more so in ways such as declaring more than 12 miles territory. I would expect them to react just as strongly to anchoring.

Guadeloupe and Martinique are overseas regions of France and tend to follow along with France in such matters.

There are countries too like Colombia that signed but haven't ratified. Then countries like China that signed and ratified but have decided to ignore.

Still, I know of no country that I would feel comfortable anchoring overnight without clearing or checking in and getting permission.
