I think the answer is YES, EF lenses will continue to work if not explicitly supported,

however there is no guarantee that there won't be future camera features which will only work with RF lenses because of certain EF lens electromechanical performance limitations. And perhaps Canon will contrive to make that happen

That much was true from the very beginning. There are already features that only work with RF lenses. That's not a matter of "contrivance," that's a matter of progress.
