Fyi, on Centos 7.4, the system libuv is 1.10.2 and the shared lib is /usr/lib64/libuv.so.1.0.0
For comparison, on Ubuntu 18.04, the system libuv is 1.18.0 and the shared lib is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libuv.so.1.0.0 I suppose this is all okay then, as you note all of libuv 1.x are backwards compatible.
