> is the slippery slope of "sticky the table header" ... "and the filtering controls above it" ... "and the page header as well", and these are all across different levels of the DOM / component tree. I've been using `thead > tr > * { position: sticky; }` just fine for years, with filtering controls within `<th>`. Don't forget to also specify `scroll-margin:` though, as that's how you get `position: sticky` to play-nice with other potentially-overlapping elements.
