What is the current supported ID3 tag version?

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639
Player Version#: 1.86.1.4076

I’ve reviewed FAQs (e.g. Identifying Music Media Using Embedded Metadata | Plex Support and searched the forums (e.g. Only one embedded genre tag being read - Plex Media Server / Metadata & Adding Files - Plex Forum, Music | Which Version of ID3 Tags Does the PLEX Scanner Inspect? - General Discussions - Plex Forum) but I’m still a little confused about the best/recommended ID3 tag version to use with music files?

It seems like the recommended tag to use is still ID3 v2.3 UTF-16 due to a few lingering bugs in supporting v2.4 completely and reliably? Or is that wrong/outdated info?

Is would be great if it was documented in the FAQ - Identifying Music Media Using Embedded Metadata | Plex Support - rather than forcing people to search through forums and try and work it out.
