Corruption in bitcoin is not the context we have ever seen when talking about things getting corrupted. How would that even take place? Only if older versions stop working with the newer ones which is a hard fork in itself.

You are forced to update because older versions contain bugs, exploits and security holes. You don't really have a choice long term.

I know people running v22, and there's zero vulnerabilities or exploits there. Maybe on a timeline involving decades, but this is another story.
