   > Thanks for the PR. My take is that we do not want to do this. We want to 
take advantage of KIP-896 and have 2.1 as the new baseline. The value over 
benefit for these is not worth it
   
   The benefit of this change is to ensure that rolling upgrades of the 
consumer work when the server is running a compatible version (e.g., 3.9). 
Since `streams_upgrade_test.py` already includes similar tests, adding tests 
for the consumer makes sense.
   
   However, I agree that the benefit is minimal, as the use case is rare (e.g., 
upgrading from 0.11 to 0.4 is highly unusual). Therefore, I prefer to add a new 
test case (same file) that runs the 3.9 server to cover these rare scenarios. 
This approach would eliminate the numerous if-else conditions in the 
environment setup.
