Aside from the 256-color section, I believe all of the examples given in the article are basic sequences which are supported in ~every terminal. Are you aware of any notable terminals where that is not the case?
Maybe I've been lucky, but I've written plenty software that blindly shoots CSI's at the console and still haven't hit any snags. Especially convenient when the channel is unidirectional; curl ocv.me :)
Shelll-mode in emacs uses $TERM=dumb and doesn’t support escapes code by default. Same with compile-mode. Also there’s some tools that persist using escapes code even when piped to another program (like less).
