Yes, that is true, but I'm not sure it's relevant to the point. There
are two types of BR-compatible cert:

EKU-serverAuth
EKU-clientAuth

Either may have other EKUs too, but all will have at least one of those.
No EKU is not permitted. And the EKU-clientAuth ones won't be trusted by
Firefox for server auth, clearly.

I intend to fix Mozilla policy to rescope the BRs more clearly.
