From a practical standpoint, i dont really think it matters.

The real threat 2fa auth solves is the fact people blame the site operator when they are hacked. 90% of the time it is due to reusing a password. The other 10% it is due to phishing. WebAuthn stops both. 2FA works not because it adds another factor, but because it removes choice from the user so they can't screw it up.
