+1 from my side Thanks Michael for reviving this thread again. Since 3.4 isn't officially supported anymore, I think it is save to drop support for Avro 1.9 as well to speed up the deprecation process. In practice it will still work against 3.4 until we start using breaking features such as type annotation, f-strings etc.
