This may be OK for an individual, but shouldn't Enterprise software be centrally upgradable by the sysadmin for *all* the users at once? The recent changes to Firefox seem to keep requiring lots of attention by the *individual* users. (And the upgrade path doesn't seem to allow easy transition from version N-2 to version N, unlike with most software.)
I agree that this trend of individuals over corporate is alarming and not only about FF, it is seen in many other programs too. For Firefox I hope this is one-time case, the actual engine change happened between 53 and 60 breaking a lot of things and I hope backward compatibility is now maintained from 60 onwards. You just need to figure out how to make this odd situation feasible to your users.
Frankly I think FF should be able to convert profiles from 52 to 68 and next profile-breaking version, and next and so on (60 could do it, why not 68), even if the direction is just one way. As you said it is only N-2 away from current version. But what is done is done, too late to fix things now.
