Do the new Airpods (3rd Gen) work with iPod nano (7th gen)

The iPod nano is not listed at https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MME73AM/A/airpods-3rd-generation

But in that same webpage, Apple also states: AirPods can be used as Bluetooth headphones with Apple devices using earlier software and with non-Apple devices, but functionality is limited.

So seemingly yes, with limits.

I’d tend to expect them to work as would any other Bluetooth audio devices, and for the buttons to work with the traditional single-double-triple click audio controls. Past that, nothing. No spatial audio features, etc.
