"Break your UX" is a vast exaggeration. I'm not talking about phone number fields, to be clear. I'm talking about like numeric amounts, with maybe a negative or decimal point. It's literally just [0-9\.-] but that still requires JS to limit inputs to that.

What's wrong with

<input type="text" pattern="[0-9.-]*">

though?

It doesn't prevent the bad input, it only validates it on submission.
