I am in the midst of porting an app from gtk2 to gtk3. Most of it
has been easy, but there are a few "issues" that are not easy. I
haven't even ventured to look at gtk4 yet. Is it even released
yet? So, from that standpoint of ignorance...I would recommend you
to first move to gtk3. Get things cleaned up, stop using
deprecated functions and symbols, and the like. Then you will be
in better shape to move to gtk4 as a next step.

Just one simple observation: porting your app to 3.0 will
probably
be trivial, if you're willing to use functions that are
deprecated
in 3.0 (maybe less trivial if you use low-level drawing
functions).
But porting to GTK 4.0 will likely be quite painful -- my
understanding is that everything that's deprecated in 3.0
(which is
quite a lot of bread-and-butter stuff in 2.x) will be gone in
4.0.
