You missed:

Not really, no, for prefixed properties.
For example, WebKit has a policy of not changing the behavior of its
prefixed properties once implemented, even if the spec then changes, as
far as I can tell.

Then you probably don't want to be using prefixed things at all. As
things stand, you _do_ need to change your CSS whenever UA behavior
changes (spec changes don't matter here except insofar as they cause UA
behavior changes).
