> As for the @media tags, I do utilize them to a degree, just to make everything render nicely on mobile and to support dark-mode. But (to put it cheekily) I’m more concerned with backwards compatibility than forwards compatibility :p

I definitely recognized that! My thought was take that backcompat focus further and relegate whatever forward compat you do choose to support not to @media queries, but the media attribute on link tags[1]. Why should HTML 4 browser users download dark mode CSS they can’t use? ;)
