In general, it's not a great idea to have features in 3.0.x that are not in 3.3.x since that could potentially cause migration issues. Someone using 3.0.x might be depending on these and face surprises when upgrading to 3.3.x. This might not be a real issue, but that's one of the reasons why we keep the newer maintained branches in sync, and there's an unwritten rule to cherry-pick to newer branches along the way. I'd suggest that we keep following this principle unless there's a clear reason not to do it. As long as 3.3.x is supported (until Dec 5th, 2024 according to our release policy page [1]), let's keep maintaining it consistently. -Lari 1 - https://pulsar.apache.org/contribute/release-policy/
