I just put together a system using a 212 EVO and a Haswell chip. The 212 EVO was sitting around for about six months before I used it, so I know for a fact that it didn't have an updated bracket.
So, yes, the 212 EVO works with any Haswell without updating the bracket. When adjusting the retaining clip, use the center position, which is the same position used for 1155 and 1156.
