It would be valid, c708 is backward compatible as far as
I have seen while working with ccextractor.
C708 is made in such a way that people dont have to throw there older TV
sets or device.
if any decoder is not able to decode c708 part, even then they can get
correct subtitle.

Yes while doing that only I realized,  if we use "i" then cc must be in
first stream.
When I had multiple stream(with audio), then I was not able to map subcc
to my video stream.
using stream_idx , we are saying that if we can use  out0+subcc and
out1+subcc.
"i" logic fails when there is audio in 1st stream, there was no way i 
could get the subtitle
if my first stream is not the one where closed caption are present.
