LEDs use constant current drivers, though. And even if you disagree, LEDs need to be current limited, so something will break with a large pulse of current, the driver or the LEDs themselves.

Maybe sodium lights are immune, in isolation?

the constant-current drivers in LED lighting are a very different concept from constant-current lighting circuits, which are a ~1920s technology rarely seen today. constant-current lighting circuits can be miles long, operate at up to 1kV or so, and require some type of cut-out/bypass feature at each individual light so that a failure of a single bulb does not take the entire circuit out. The problems that constant-current lighting circuits address (maximizing the life of incandescent bulbs) are all solved in different, more robust ways in modern lighting systems. Most significantly, the carbon-disc cutouts that were the direct cause of the street lighting failures are no longer used (even in legacy constant-current lighting systems, where they have been replaced with more modern devices).
