This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since April 2018.
The NodeIterator.referenceNode read-only property returns the
Node to which the iterator is anchored; as new nodes are inserted, the
iterator remains anchored to the reference node as specified by this property.
Value
A Node.
Examples

const nodeIterator = document.createNodeIterator(
document.body,
NodeFilter.SHOW_ELEMENT,
{
acceptNode(node) {
return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
},
},
);
