Will not ever, nft_compat will basically reject them, we would need to
extend them to support the standard and error targets, but it is not
worth given we use native.

You can make an explicit reject, not sure it is required, it would be
good to make sure this is indeed necessary.

I think this patch should only update icmp and icmpv6, which are the
ones that are causing problems there.

A follow up patch with missing validation, if needed, would be also
great.
