Exactly. It's common in game dev industry to keep using the same version of Unity for a project. Sometimes a minor version is updated, and I do mean sometimes, because large projects break for the smalles changes (despite semver).

Then why did OP decide to move the game to the latest engine? His game just failed to boot, nothing in logs. His guess was that maybe the behavior of some windows api changed. What should one do if such a thing happens for a giant project?

Hell, even Adobe and the like do that. It's a first-class feature to have multiple versions of a product (eg photoshop) installed at a time.
