I think HTML5 and HTML5.1 do allow the "onload" event handler attribute 
on most elements 
(https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#global-attributes) and I don't 
have any problems at https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea to validate e.g.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>iframe onload test</title>
</head>
<body>
<section>
<h1>test</h1>
<iframe src="http://example.com/" 
onload="console.log(event.type);"></iframe>
</section>
</body>
</html>

so I am not sure why you think that validators dislike the onload 
attribute, at least you haven't told us which document standard you target.
