Is it an absolute requirement that a non-handicapped player write down ACCURATE move notation during an OTB tournament?
I ask because I am interested in participating in tournaments to get real OTB experience, but I have no desire to write down the moves; I just want to play chess for fun without the drudgery of move notation. Would there be any consequences if I would fake it by writing gibberish on my scoresheet?

Probably not unless your opponent overstepped the time control or you wanted to claim a draw by repetition of position.
Or if you almost beat someone higher rated and wanted to be able to go over the game afterwards.
