This is not sufficient, older 3.3 and 4.x servers can't be changed and

Basically the plan MUST work with already released servers, this is a

Currently new clients do not work with older servers, right?
Maybe we should do one more (last!) release like that and do a big cut after
that. It would make the design so much easier if the new (supposedly thin)
client does not need to support ancient servers which had only 'fat' clients.
People are using 3.3 and 4.1 now, we want to support them too, whatever
it takes.
For future clients we can do whatever fancy automated thin client and
what not, and in time drop support for very old releases, but 3.3 and <
4.2 are going to be around for quite a while and we need to support
those server in the clients.
I think 3.0 should be the baseline. It will around another few years at
least.

Yes, 3.0 is base line. It is the version shipped in RHEL/CentOS-6 and until
that dies*, we should be friendly with it.

looks like year ~2020 :-)
