Comment (by sergiomdgomes):

 An alternative approach to preserving IE 11 compatibility is to use a
 `wp_get_script_polyfill`-based approach [https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/6192591757bb1237be0d234943399bcc88e44a6f/src/wp-
 content/themes/twentytwentyone/functions.php#L439-L447 / like Twenty
 Twenty One does].

 This would keep the code clean and would prevent polyfills / helper
 functions from being loaded in modern browsers, but the downside would be
 that it would require bumping up compatibility to WordPress 5.0.
