My 80KB .emacs doesn't rely on any kind of "version" info, yet I use it
unchanged with Emacs-24, Emacs-25, Emacs-26, Emacs-27, and Emacs-git
(and occasionally XEmacs).

I think it's easier to do that than to keep various configs synchronized
between the different versions they support.  But of course, nothing
prevents you from setting `user-emacs-directory` to a version-specific
directory.
