I don't know for certain. In these cases I go by what dash (Debian's sh
implementation) does. To quote its manpage:

"Only features designated by POSIX, plus a few Berkeley extensions, are
being incorporated into this shell."

It does support this syntax for printf. That's enough for me personally.
Is it enough for everyone? I don't know.
