\`e is expanded to a \char command before \uppercase can see it and
\uppercase/MakeUppercase don't affect \char.
Imho the relevant \`e in fc-french.def should be protected, but you
can also make the commands yourself robust:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside]{report}
\usepackage{ifluatex}
\ifluatex
\usepackage{fontspec}
\else
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\fi
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[french]{fmtcount}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\begin{document}
\uppercase{éè \'e \`e \char "00E8}
\ORDINALstringnum{2}
\robustify\`
\robustify\'
\ORDINALstringnum{2}
\end{document}
