Research completed with the linked POC determined that browser support is massively inconsistent. There is also another issue with the shadow DOM where typically a set of inputs that would all be aware of each other are not. This means that a user must click into each field in order to get the autocomplete.
The only feature that works consistently is autocomplete="off"CSS-Tricks reference
Scope of work
The scope of this issue would be to add support for the autocomplete attribute within the scope of the element's shadow DOM.
In addition to this, it needs to be clearly stated the limitation of this attribute and the shadow DOM.
