What happened?
As explained by @bmorelli25, support deployment badges were added to APM docs to...
A couple years ago when Fleet-managed APM Server was introduced, customers were confused as to which settings applied to Fleet, which applied to the APM Server binary, and which settings applied to both. [...] I think we initially called out the differences in admonitions but folks continued to have problems (as if they weren't reading them). So we added this visual flair.
Here's an example: https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/apm/configure-apm-agent-central-configuration

Solution
We should replace the visual flairs with something that is not a static image. We could possibly use applies_to tags for this, or something else. There's a potential redundancy/conflict of these badges with the new applicability tags that could generate confusion. It's also visually distracting.
