One CRM webapp I worked on took our frontenders several attempts at different hacks to get Chrome to stop treating the SSN-equiv field as a credit card autofill.
What are the odds that those hacks have been broken by Chrome updates since then?
Probably pretty high. I'm not on that team anymore, but the end users would have complained if it had happened.

Imo, valid use case for autocomplete=off is "the developer of webapp wants it". Literally that and nothing more.
It's called "user agent", not "developer's agent". We'd be in a terrible situation if the browsers just followed developer's whims. Cf. popup blocking.
Browsers already follow developer whims, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Fe...
