Here's a review from 2014 , Klaus considered 2 EV to be excessive
Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM - Review / Test Report - Analysis (photozone.de)
of course it's a relative thing and how important it is for you.
Personally it's not a serious issue, I call vignetting extreme when corners are black, like on Sony 16-50, it's actually distortions correction that crops away black corners that removes vignetting and not vignetting correction itself !!!, the lens isn't usable at 16mm without digital correction
