jQuery and extending built-in elements

I am just looking into extending built-in elements for the first time and have some basic questions.

Let's say I want to extend a p element, assign it a class, and make it contenteditable. Is the following correct and ready-to-use?

      customElements.define('p-edit', pedit, { extends: 'p' });

      class pedit extends HTMLParagraphElement {
        constructor() {
            
            super();
          
            this.classList.add("foo");
            this.setAttribute("contenteditable",true);
        
        }
    }
      

And would that pedit element be a valid jQuery selector? And would it be a match if the jQuery selector were 'p[contenteditable="true"]' ?

Ditch Customized Built-In Elements and stick to Autonomous Elements extends HTMLElement.

Unless you want to rely on polyfills forever.

Apple has, since 2016, stated they never will implement Customized Built-In Elements in Safari.
