I've been hearing of this coming for a couple years. The quoted article seems to suggest that OpenGL will be around for a while and I can't believe that Apple will remove an API that so many applications use. They seem to want people to port to Metal but that may not be possible for a lot of legacy

Unfortunately it does happen, especially when prims are twisted or otherwise skewed. 99.99 is too close. You may mot see it in a viewer but physics will not work with it.
