Does this mean the AES-ECB support is unnecessary and can be dropped?

Let's keep it if it doesn't hurt.

It kind of does. It is "bad" crypto that would have to continue to be
maintained, and someone might start using it accidentally.

AES-ECB was introduced as a cipher to use in QUIC-LB draft,
draft-ietf-quic-load-balancers-21

I know it is expired draft, but it may be worth keeping this cipher
as QUIC WG github is still active
