Not to mention the fact that NVK now theoretically supports Vulkan 1.3, though I'm not sure if it's exposed by default yet or not.

The remaining ones are ether optional for 1.3 support (VK_EXT_texture_compression_astc_hdr, VK_KHR_shader_float16_int8) or were implemented but not marked as such (VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_extended_types, VK_KHR_zero_initialize_workgroup_memory).
