Not quite right. FT8 v2.0.0-rc3 is compatible with v1.9.1 as long as you
do NOT check:
"Always generate 77-bit messages" and "Decode only 77-bit messages"
under the F2 > Advanced tab.
I installed v2.0.0-rc4 which locks you into 77 bit messages and found
very little decode action on my waterfall so I reverted to v2.0.0-rc3.
It is advised that -rv3 cannot be used after 30 November. Is it software
bombed and will stop working, time will tell. I have downloaded rc5 but
as yet haven't bothered to install it and might just pass over it to the
general release v2 when I feel it's worth doing.

While V 2.0 is currently in Beta, it's well-advanced beta, and works
very well. Those using 1.9 cannot copy or transmit to stations using V
2.0 and those using the latest V 2.0 betas cannot copy stations using V
1.9. The non-beta release of 2.0 is scheduled for Dec 10. (Early 2.0
beta versions DID allow 1.9 and 2.0 users to communicate, but this
capability has been removed to allow the final version to work better.)
Users are encouraged to switch to the new version as soon as possible.
The only downside is that most users are still using V 1.9, so you won't
be able to work them, but this will gradually change as more users
upgrade, and the transition will happen more quickly as more users
upgrade. K1JT's Quick-Start Guide is here.
