The scrollbar ends up being less reliable (as in, it changes size and position as it discovers the real size of content), but that's it really.

I think I remember in-page anchor links also struggle a bit if scroll-behavior is set to smooth (distance change). Not unexpected - but something to consider

I assume that setting contain-intrinsic-size is still necessary to avoid all content-visibility: auto sections to stack on each other and get layout once this massive stack becomes visible? As mentioned in this great video? (FYI: the glitch link in the description does not work anymore)

Also it seems the restrictions and downsides mentioned in the video (e.g. affecting things outside the content box is forbidden, no margin collapse, etc) do not get reflected on the MDN page? Are they still relevant? See also ->

why is auto not the default? the linked mdn page lists no downsides

Yeah you need to set a contain-intrinsic-size that's… well… it doesn't need to be accurate, but if it's too small then yeah it'll look like all the sections come into view at once.
