Our original intent behind those choices was to let users join a video

Fixing sites sounds good.
Are there any risks of breaking sites with this change?
Firefox users may complain that some sites that used to let them join a
call with only audio, now require them to share their camera.
We can point to Chrome, but permissions is a point of differentiation
(we like to say we offer more privacy choices).
I would assume if we're aligning with Chrome (if they follow the spec
here), probably not. But I don't actually know.
Chrome follows the spec, except in the case where the user has no
camera, and a site asks for both. In that case, Chrome gives out an
audio-only stream, just like Firefox. A bug I suspect, since it's a spec
violation, but not 100% sure. Regardless, after we change this, we'll be
stricter than Chrome in this edge-case.
