Ah okay, thanks. I went by the list in Wikipedia, disappointing
that it apparently wasn't updated with those final T2 models:

No, Bruno Bierbaumer's page lists the MacBookPro11,3 and 11,5
as the first models that need apple_set_os:

I'm still using a MacBookPro9,1 (last pre-retina) on a daily basis
and apple_set_os isn't needed there. Neither on the MacBookPro10,1
(first retina). Both were introduced mid 2012.

Yes, Haswell generation introduced Oct 2013 was the first one that
needed it.
Thanks,
