I don't think you'll need to worry about that for a long time, if ever. The 20-year-old SSLv3 has only recently been killed off and that had some pretty serious security issues. TLS 1.0 devices will be around for years, possibly decades, and TLS 1.2 even longer. Like HTTP 1.1 (vs. HTTP/2), TLS 1.2 could well stick around forever.
