I'd post adjustment entries to bring your balances in sync with what
your bank says.

If your ledger from 2019 says you have 400 EUR in the bank, but the
bank balance is 1000 EUR right now, you could add this entry:

2022-03-14 * Adjust bank balance
    Assets:Bank                   600.00 EUR = 1000 EUR
    Equity:Opening balance

In fact, ledger supports setting a certain balance like this:

2022-03-14 * Adjust
    Assets:Bank                              = 1000 EUR
    Equity:Opening balance

If you later find time to important bank transactions from 2019-2022,
you can always do that.
