TI says that 3.3v transceivers are OK for CAN bus. Is their report convincing?

According to this http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slla337/slla337.pdf there is no disadvantage to using 3.3v over 5v, or mixing 3.3 and 5v devices on the same bus.
T3sl4co1l:
I would expect a reduction in range, but only by a modest ratio, not like orders of magnitude.  The common mode emission is annoying, and makes a CMC just about mandatory; but they're commonly found, anyway, so that's probably a non-issue.

CAN was derived from RS-485; there's been 3.3V RS-485 transmitters for a long time.  The original RS-485 transmitters were implemented in TTL, which only delivers about 3.5V tops, which LVCMOS easily matches.

Most probably so.

All automotive designs I've seen so far, even designed today for vehicles to be released in 2022-2023 still use transceivers powered from Vcc=5V, but VIO is set to 3.3V.
Tomorokoshi:
We use the TI transceivers from powered from 3.3V with a 125 kbps data rate with no problems.
