v3 didn't last four years. Can we expect much different from v4?

If you're migrating your zod 3 code, I'd migrate to something more stable and long-lived than v4 is likely to be -- unless you want to be going through it all again in a few years (and yet again a few years after that, etc).

I don't blame the maintainers (I assume they don't have a fat support and maintenance contract)

But developers need to go in with their eyes open when it comes to adopting these throw-away libraries and frameworks.

For contrast: My entire company is less than 4 years old and any code from 6 months ago feels old because things (in a business requirements sense) change so fast. Zod lasting 3 years is fine.

Although I do wish v4 came a little sooner because we just started using Zod a few months ago.
