I think it should be non-controversial to ban a legacy encoding that’s
not supported by major browsers without showing statistics of use,
since any use would already be broken.

I don’t see why not for encodings that are not included by the
Encoding Standard. (The Encoding Standard includes the encodings that
are already broadly supported by browsers and, therefore, may be
expected by authors to work.)
