Travelling to Croatia from France with a French residency card

score:2

Accepted answer

Are we right about our assumption that a new refugee travel document is mandatory?

Yes. For crossing the Schengen external border a valid passport or other travel document is required. For EU/EEA citizens, a national ID card documenting that citizenship is also accepted, but that is the only exception. Residence cards will not do.

What would happened if we "weren't aware that he needed one" and tried to board the plane?

He probably would not be allowed to check in at the airport for an out-of-Schengen flight without a valid travel document. If he checks in online, he might be able to bypass that, but then he would be stopped when he tries to pass through outbound border control without a valid travel document.
