I don't see any reason, because we don't change the server protocol in
backward-incompatible ways.

IME, there's no real reason for you to feel bad.

If you downgrade Emacs, then yes, you get to live with old problems
that are already fixed in a newer Emacs. Why is this a surprise? You
also get back all the bugs that were fixed between Emacs 27 and Emacs
28, right? Would you call that a problem with the installation
procedure or with the structure of the installation tree?

Like I said, there's no reason to think so.
