If you read ETSI ES 201 235-2 carefully you would realize that this
recommendation covers interactions between telephone terminal and telephone
switch or PBX. In other words it covers DTMF before the call answer. This
is not the most common scenario for WebRTC so this specification does not
necessarily apply.

This is 100 ms minimal tone which is from my experience is the safe default.

Most but not all. You still get applications that connected a VoIP call to
a dial tone in the remote location and allow caller to dial the number.
This is "post answering" on the origination side but end up being
pre-answering on the remote side.
