I'm just very confused at all of this paranoia. My impression is that SVG support has been coming along very steadily and as expected along with all other HTML5 features on both desktop and mobile platforms. Google and Apple both use webkit for their desktop browsers which has arguably some of the best HTML5 support. Microsoft, surprisingly, has done a decent job of support so far in IE9 & 10, although they lack SMIL and quite a few other sought-after components. Facebook is not really relevant because they don't provide a browser. All modern browsers have full support on all basic drawing elements for SVG and all but the most complex filters are functioning well and will soon have hardware acceleration.
Beyond SVG, all modern browsers support <video> and <audio> tags as well as the great raster graphics tool, <canvas>. Some form of client side database is available in every browser. The only thing I wish they'd all hurry up on is support for Websockets. I just don't see any evidence that any features of HTML5 are being ignored. Perhaps they are being developed slowly, yes, but that is how it always is with new tech. Do not fear my friend, just be patient.
