The current legacy code I'm dealing with is full of these:

A haiku has to use elements of the natural world in a symbolic manner.

What about elements of HTML? It also has symbols.

Eh, my bad. I figured that was somewhat optional given it's English and already kind of an adaptation. Fixing it is more effort than I'm willing to put in tho

The whole Wikipedia page on English Haiku makes it seem like there's a lot of room for interpretation

It is somewhat optional.

While there are certain elements that are traditionally included in a 'proper' haiku, those elements are not universal, even in very old, traditional haiku. @jerkface@lemmy.ca is being too harsh and speaking too absolutely here. A non-traditional haiku is still a haiku.
