For me using @style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout produced undesirable formatting results, specifically alignment issues with the editText box.

I used boxBackgroundMode set to none for awhile, and after updating material design in my project the error icon mentioned started showing. May be a bug (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122445449).

For now I'm still setting the boxBackgroundMode to none, and hiding the error icon by setting the color to transparent. This way I keep the material design.

app:boxBackgroundMode="none"
app:errorIconTint="@android:color/transparent"
