My intention for using the "hold for document update" Errata (I wrote "document 
only" before) is only to better document the behavior that exists currently, so 
it doesn't have to be rediscovered again later.  Martin pointed to an RFC 
section that didn't list features explicitly, leaving it open for 
interpretation.  Patching such sections would be good.  As for RFC 8407, maybe 
Section 4.17 (Feature Definitions) could say something?  

Following are a couple excerpts from 
https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/processing-rfc-errata:

Hold for Document Update - The erratum is not a necessary update to the RFC. 
However, any future update of the document might consider this erratum, and 
determine whether it is correct and merits including in the update. 

And (I added the underline):

Changes which are simply stylistic issues or simply make things read better 
should be Hold for Document Update. 

Would you be willing to offer some text for an RFC 8407 "hold for document 
update" errata?   If Martin does the same for the section he found, I think we 
would be covered.  It seems is worthy effort, yes?
