It's not guaranteed, and using RGBA8 instead is a trivial alternative to most existing use-cases.

Not having guaranteed support doesn't mean the spec forbids it; support for this is left to the implementation. However, for maximum compatibility, we should disallow this.

We should definitely make RGB8 non-renderable in WebGL 1 with min-capability mode.

RGB8 is renderable in WebGL 2, so we probably shouldn't deprecated it.
We can probably just leave this, though it'd be nice to restrict it in min-cap mode.
