"Support" isn't binary. I have a 10-year old MSI motherboard and get a
slew of ACPI errors every time I boot. They don't seem to affect
anything but they're there. I presume that a more modern mobo would
have fewer of these, if any.
I've seen the ACPI errors a lot in the past, too.
I noticed they are not present in Fedora's 6.8 kernel. I guess that means the messages have been suppressed, or the kernel driver has been fixed. I also update my UEFI regularly, so it could be OEM bug fixes, too.
