I personally would prefer a different approach to TLS-LTS than what was 
proposed then, so what uses ext 26 now may very well not be compatible with 
the RFC'd version... don't know how much of a problem would it be to 
implementations that Peter shipped

and yes, IMNSHO the TLS-LTS makes sense only in case the modern stacks (i.e. 
ones that support TLS 1.3) also support it and prefer it over vanilla TLS 1.2
