There is potentially room here for a "MUST...unless" shape to the document.  I 
am not aware of any that do this currently, but a few years ago some websites 
dropped support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 because they could be confident that 
browsers supported TLS 1.2.  Or at least all those they cared about did.  You 
might be able to conclude the same for TLS 1.3 today.

But I don't think that you can drop TLS 1.2 today without some care and that 
approach is not really generally applicable.
