Am I the only one having this kind of errors, or the only one caring about the errors ?
Your patience is commendable. :) Like you, after using V3 for many years I'm playing with V4, but only seriously since about August 2018. There were a few hiccups to begin with, but I don't see the kinds of errors that you're seeing. No hosts here use the 'rsync' XferMethod. I've grepped XferLOGs for the past year for errors on hosts which use the 'rsyncd' XferMethod, and apart from a few expected errors where machines have been shut down mid-backup, nothing is making itself obvious. I've grepped BackupPC XferLOGs going all the way back to 2016 for the strings 'No such file or directory' and 'bpc_sysCall_checkFileMatch'. There was no instance of 'No such file or directory', and just a few 'bpc_sysCall_checkFileMatch ... file doesn't exist'. The majority of the latter were in the hidden sub-directories of home directories on machines which run X sessions/desktops. The errors are reasonable and since moving to BPC V4 I've routinely excluding those directories from backups anyway. The error has never appeared for any of our server machines which offer only shell access.
