ArcGIS REST API returnCentroid parameter

Question

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#/Query_Feature_Service_Layer/02r3000000r1000000/

Query (Feature Service/Layer)

Request parameter: returnCentroid

* The layer metadata returns supportReturningGeometryCentroid in the advancedQueryCapabilities metadata object.
Metadata does not return supportReturningGeometryCentroid.

* The absence of the supportReturningGeometryCentroid property means that the server does not support the returnCentriod parameter.
I am using ArcGIS for Server 10.4.1 (build 5686) Advanced. Please let me know which server version supports returnCentroid parameter for polygon data as metadata does not return supportReturningGeometryCentroid.

We too are still on ArcGIS Server 10.4 and had to come up with a solution.  Perhaps not the most performance-optimized, we opted to create a publish a Geoprocessing service to return the centroid coordinate information for other map services.  Basically, the GP service is a proxy or a wrapper for the desired polygon map service which we'd like centroid coordinates and some very simple python delivers that info.

That's a good question.  From the "What's New", it looks like it didn't appear until 10.6

What's new in the ArcGIS REST API—ArcGIS REST API: Services Directory | ArcGIS for Developers

... but since the OP was from 2016, I seems like it would have been earlier like 10.5.x....?
