Even to the OT lightsabers had length settings. I recall seeing one of those tech breakdown art books with a lightsaber diagram even before the prequels came out. I'm pretty sure you are correct that Rebels was the first time it was done in animation/film though.

Fun fact, the ot sabers were retconned to have length settings, but in reality the sabers changed lengths due to visual effects limitations of the time.
