I understand that worry, but how often will he actually cover someone man to man? Plus, go and look at all of the top sack guys that are 3-4 OLB's and tell me how many of those guys are good in pass defense. Ware, Aldon Smith, Cameron Wake, Kruger, Suggs, Tamba Hali, Justin Houston. I wouldn't consider any of these guys good pass defenders. They are out there for one reason.
Putting pressure on the qb is the most important part of playing defense these days. If Junior can do that like he has been, with more playing time, I think I can overlook him not being good in pass coverage. He will be dropping back into zone's probably.

The strongside OLB in a 3-4 has to cover quite a bit, especially the te. If Galette can't cover then Wilson would have to play there and that would take away from Wilson's pass rushing chances. Maybe Galette already has some coverage ability, if so, great. But if all he can do is rush the passer, it's really going to cut down on his scheme versatility and eventually teams will dictate putting him in coverage when he's on the field.
I'm not saying I think he has to be the next Sean Weatherspoon in coverage but he can't be totally inadequate either...if he is, it won't take long for teams to exploit that weakness.
