Also, is "unconscious" still being listed under Condition Immunities, even though it is no longer a condition?
D&D 5E Undead, how charming...

Unconscious is a condition (see p. 292).

Yes, there's definetely room for some odd scenario here. I can easily see many DMs will houserule it, whether they know it or not, to honour tradition 
In my games I think I'll try to stick to the rules as presented at first, the good thing about D&D is that you can always find some weird explanation to weird things.
I'll use the "hacking" thing for enchantment magic, and "poison" can be seen as something actually damaging the physical structure of corporeal undead, after all you can be a zombie but you still need more or less stable legs to move.
But, some situations like the fatigued skeletons seem tough to be explained. I suppose they did want to keep low monster immunities in order not to make monsters always viable thanks to BA but also always vulnerable more or less to all PCs...time will tell if it's worth the strain to beliavibility.
I warn you, my players - not characters - thought they were some kind of illusion

Why is this odd - don't most necromancers work their skeletons to the bone...?
