This is coming out of WHATWG so in actuality the spec itself is being updated to remove the functionality. So yes, the end state is very much that devs cannot rely on this functionality.
Do you have a link to the WHATWG discussion? I went looking for it yesterday and was unable to find details.
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11523
From there they link to the minutes for the meeting where this was raised. Interestingly the Google engineer who raised this at the meeting was formerly at Mozilla for years. I don’t know if Mozilla was already looking to remove this or not.
