Is the STM32F103xG CAN bus suitable for Unpowered Node use?

Some sources state that some CAN transceivers disable the entire bus if their node is powered-down (due to low-impedance while unpowered).

Some manufacturers (e.g. Texas Instruments, Microchip) explicitly state in some datasheets that their transceivers will be high impedance in unpowered state, and thus will not disturb bus operation between other powered nodes.

I have searched extensively, but have not been able to confirm that the STM32F103xG microcontroller CAN hardware is suitable for an application where one or more nodes may be powered off.

If anyone can confirm that these microcontrollers can safely operate in such an application, it would be very helpful and much appreciated. Thanks 🙂
