To be honest, low order hasn't been a massive priority for gaming/VR - on most modern boxes we're rendering and decoding at fourth order, so all the cool new stuff is enabled.
That said, IMHO single-band decoding is practical/robust at low orders; there's not really enough spatial information to do anything too clever, unless you're happy with a rather small sweet spot. A good compromise might be to provide an extra, more "Classic" decode option, which we've actually been meaning to spend some time on this year, but various other things have jumped the queue...
