The former of these is bug 243198, the latter of these I haven't actually filed (but I don't think needs to block shipping, especially while Chrome fails them: https://wpt.fyi/results/html/semantics/embedded-content/the-iframe-element/iframe-loading-lazy.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned

Igalia, any insights into how ready this is to ship? I hear you were perhaps waiting for lazy loading on iFrames to become part of the official HTML spec — which has now happened. Does the implementation need to be updated to match the spec? Is this ready to ship?

Yes, should be fine to ship.
