Thanks for adding the page, @dletorey.
I'm not sure about the feature support, I don't see any visual changes in the spacing in the text with different values (in Nightly behind the pref). The spacing changes are more apparent in Chrome when switching between no-autospace and normal.
I've also included some updates required for the BCD for this property.
| - `insert` | ||
| - : If there are no spaces between the _ideograph_ and _non-ideographic_ scripts the user agent automatically inserts the correct spacing. | ||
| - `replace` | ||
| - : If there are spaces between the _ideograph_ and _non-ideographic_ scripts, such as [U+0020](/en-US/docs/Glossary/Whitespace), the user agent automatically replaces it with the correct spacing. |

For both insert and replace, we can add that if not specified, the default value is insert.

| - : Provides more control over spacing behaviors. It accepts: | ||
| - the keyword `no-autospace`, or | ||
| - a combination of one or more of `ideograph-alpha`, `ideograph-numeric`, and `punctuation`, optionally followed by `insert` or `replace`. | ||
| - `no-autospace` |

This and other values of <autospace> will need one more level of indentation. The current formatting is broken https://pr40912.review.mdn.allizom.net/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-autospace#values.

My previous comment was more around showing more than one value of <autospace> like ideograph-alpha ideograph-numeric or ideograph-alpha ideograph-numeric punctuation.
text-autospace: ideograph-alpha ideograph-numeric punctuation;
text-autospace: ideograph-alpha ideograph-numeric;
text-autospace: ideograph-alpha ideograph-numeric insert;
