There are CI/CD processes for deployment, versioning problem is solved at least for 30 years.
Also it is hardly any different from handling version differences in distributed systems, or split between frontend and backend on Web applications.
Version differences in distributed systems (including Web apps) are a real pain! In many circumstances they're unavoidable, and we've developed various techniques to make them marginally easier, but if you can avoid the issue entirely by just not having the thing be distributed, that's the more maintainable choice.
