Furthermore, upgrades shouldn’t skip more than one release, as that would lead to loss of state files and other important information, so users probably won’t upgrade from 17.02 to 19.05 directly. If they’d do that then yes, the patch would be applicable for 19.x, it’s just less likely to occur.
Upgrading more than 2 releases isn't supported, so I don't believe the 19.05 slurmdbd will have the code in it to upgrade tables from earlier than 17.11.
People still on 17.02 and earlier will have to go to an intermediate release to get their tables properly updated (and as you say, either apply your patch or migrate their MySQL server to a box running a more recent version of MySQL - it doesn't have to be on the same system running slurmdbd).
