I wouldn't be too concerned with incomplete token sets in this case. As these are not widely used tokens and I also can't foresee wide usage, it seems slightly better to go with @bmartinezcalvo approach for now and add just the warning ones.
@bmartinezcalvo Do you want to provide the patch yourself or do you want me to go ahead?
Truly is. Patch for T387778: [breaking change] Font modes: Introduce font modes to Codex was providing the public typographic mixin first.

In modern, responsive iOS Safari sites–if you’ve set a proper viewport (<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">) and size your type with relative units, Mobile Safari’s text-inflation algorithm won’t bite you
Setting to declined, as it would need quite some work and we have to re-focus on other priorities with start of the new Readers Experience team.

@bmartinezcalvo Should we keep this open? Is it worthwhile to let it stick around?

There has been a number of deprecations waiting for a breaking release for a while now:

Resolved successfully! Goodbye Codex design token predecessor! 😢

Reached out to talk-to-comms. Pending answer.
@CCiufo-WMF Now indeed. :)

Out of engineering enclave: I think it's useful to have the overflow behaviour as general approach (and not opt-in/optional).

Thanks @Dbrant, with above there's only Wikibase client/data-bridge as last consumer of an old package version left.

We went with appearance menu in the Codex docs site instead.

The TAhS update https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/design/codex/+/1145322/ in Codex was also part of this task.

This has been successfully backported to Vector legacy/Vector 2022! Thanks @Jdrewniak for this step here.
Re-opening in context of another combination identified to be problematic in T394305: 1.45.0-wmf.1: When setting font size to "small", line-height is absolute, making lines with larger font-size cramped.

Option 1: vector-icon override
Set vector-icon to use font-size-medium when at medium. That would be self-referential, but fallback to 1rem with the calc to 20px., which would result in a correct rendering.
.vector-icon { --font-size-medium: @font-size-medium; --line-height-medium: @line-height-medium; }
Pro: Limited code effort and only one place to be concerned about
Con: Self-referential, so code-wise questionable

This is a side-effect of scaling SVG icons with 20x20 canvas to 18x18 px at default font mode in combination with Vector setting font-size-medium to 0.875rem. We will have a conversation about it in tomorrow's DST design sync meeting on how to proceed.
