Be willing to change your code, the allocator can change at

experimential feature, there's no guarantees at all. It might
not even get put into phobos. If your project is going to be
used over the course of a year or more than maybe you
shouldn't use it.
Ok, thanks for the point.
Is the dub package stdx-allocator [1] a better alternative in
this regard?

Yep, that's why it was created. It's a snapshot of
https://docarchives.dlang.io/v2.077.0/phobos/std_experimental_allocator.html
It might be updated later, but with dub it's really easy to lock
it to a specific version - which you can't when upgrading the
compiler.
