I would think the Federation would make it a priority to recover their misappropriated Galaxy-class starship, and that they’d send a little fleet of at least three other ships right away.
Unless something was causing a big enough distraction at the time that Starfleet needed to send those starships somewhere else, in which case the respective empires would have every motivation to capture the rogue flagship. Again, I don’t see them sending just one or two ships; they would want to overwhelm the Enterprise badly enough to take the ship as undamaged as possible.
If, I don’t know, let’s say the Borg were simultaneously attacking the Federation and the Klingons and the Romulans, then the realists in command of the major factions might shrug and say that whatever swashbuckling chicanery Jean-Luc is up to is simply not a priority in the face of possible assimilation.
