This is no longer the case.
The draft has been updated to clearly point to the @missing conventions.
(Thanks to the participants in this discussion for identifying the
oversight).
The @missing conventions as such are not new, the only thing that is
being changed, as result of a very deliberate UTC decision is to make
the @missing convention correctly cover the few properties with complex
defaults.
VO, as noted, is being delayed by one version due to resource constraints.
Parsers that rely on property values being listed explicitly for
unassigned code points will not benefit from the change. Parsers that
interpret @missing lines today, but can't handle multiple @missing lines
for the same property will break visibly, and should have done so for
the beta, or if limited to the VO file, will break visibly during the
next beta.
Properties for assigned code points are unaffected.
