I don't think the IETF's decisions should be dictated by the risk that
someone might potentially misread their documents. That's always a risk.
Someone might misread RFC 8446 as saying "use SSL 3.0 only." Does that mean
the IETF shouldn't publish RFC 8446?

I'm not sure what the issue is here. Deprecation isn't just an excuse to
remove support of deprecated protocols; it's a good reason to do so. If,
however, they need to interface with legacy systems, they can continue to
do so in spite of official deprecation. No one is going to arrest them for
continuing to use FFDHE.
