Yes - this can be a big problem if it means that users get a cached response which isn’t compatible with their browser. It can also mean that you lose cache efficiency if you don’t get a ton of traffic - one site I worked on would’ve gotten much slower if they used WebP because it would have increased your odds of not getting a CDN-cached response, and the ~10-15% byte size savings just wasn’t worth that.
