Yes. <legend> is documented as having rendering issues in all current
browsers if placed outside of a <fieldset> (for example, in some
browsers it will *generate a fieldset* around itself). <label>
doesn't have appropriate keyboard accessibility when used for
<details>.
The @caption proposal isn't for an attribute on <p> only, but rather
for an attribute on any element that is a child of a <figure>. (It's
just that most of the time using a <p> is most appropriate.)
