Will enabling "HTTPS-Only Mode" block http://localhost? If so, it would interfere with web development.

No, you can always continue on to non-HTTPS pages.

No, it doesn't block localhost.

Also you can add exceptions, so if you have e.g. a HTTP-only server on your local network, you can whitelist it manually.
