Problem with safari though is that it’s tied to OS updates that many people just defer for insanely long periods of time. So unlike the other browsers, it’s not evergreen, so if you need to support any iOS users or Mac users who don’t use chrome etc, you’re out of luck

Yeah that definitely sucks. I have seen MacOS Safari updates come though separately in Preferences.app > General > Software Update, but I think that release channel is for security issues.

Saying that, MacOS and iOS generally (up until recently, from what I've heard) have very good uptake rates for major updates. It's become less awful standards-wise as time has gone on in my experience at least.
