I think Firefox ESR would make sense to support as well. Its baseline is never older than a year IIUC, so should be feasible to have it be considered supported.
Showing warnings on the UI when using an unsupported browser would probably be fairly straightforward as well, and help to inform users. Perhaps we even distinguish between "outdated based on policy" and "outdated based on features actually used in core or popular plugins", but that may end up being too much effort to maintain. Does it actually make sense to still support IE?
