You'd have to avoid :has() for now and/or study the results of a web
search for "CSS has polyfill" (basically, have a JS observer that works
out the whether the has(...) is true when the DOM changes and modifies
the style of the affected element(s)).

Devs may have a view as to the likelihood and timescale of an
implementation of has(). My guess would be that, since it's a feature
with tentacles in several key functional elements of the browser, a
back-port from FF, where it was fully supported 2 years ago, or other
implementation could be hard and slow.
