What the current evidence supports

Adopt with guardrails

Why
The rail is now mandatory and 97% migrated by traffic volume, but a real, currently-uncounted minority of institutions still relies on a translation service with no MT103 sunset date and a documented history of stripping structured data — reconciliation logic that assumes universal ISO 20022 richness will silently misparse or under-reconcile that tail instead of failing loudly.
Next
When parsing cross-border payment data, prefer native MX/camt.05x structured fields where available; explicitly flag and lower-trust any payment whose structured remittance/address fields are empty or truncated, since that signature indicates the sender is still round-tripping through Swift's lossy MT-to-MX translation service rather than sending natively.
