Wire transfer number instead of routing number. Will this simply default into the paper check back up plan of the IRS when a bank accont isn't entered correctly?

Yes.  If a direct deposit fails, the IRS will default to mailing out a check.  I'll take a bit longer, but that is indeed how the IRS handles it.
