SC 1.4.4: Failures and Sufficient Techniques

According to the WCAG documentation, it appears that Page Zoom in common browsers is sufficient to for conformance with WCAG SC 1.4.4 where HTML/CSS documents are concerned. However, it's also understood that some content or function still might break at 200% magnification.

Understanding that conformance and accessibility are not the same (and taking into account the prevalence of mobile browsing) what's the current thinking on this? What's your best practice?
