ISTR reading about some limits there.

Yes, that needs some updating. See https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/libgnucash/engine/gnc-features.c#L42 <https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/libgnucash/engine/gnc-features.c#L42> for the feature flags; the earliest version that supports each is in the description string.
