It matters on Electron version you're aiming at.

v3 uses Electron 21 downwards, which should be working fine for people with Wayland and has less bugs with the tray visibility on Linux, but WebCord v4 is basically the ones which will be guaranteed to be kept updated. Technically you can use v4 with Electron 21 if you want to (and even older Electron versions), but releases will always aim for the latest version (mostly due to NPM picking it by the default).

Given Electron 20 and 21 will eventually got deprecated (by Electron team, not essentially by WebCord), we probably want to use the latest version as much as it is going to be possible and try to workaround the bugs or report them to Electron. I will personally avoid upgrades if something breaks WebCord in way it is no longer usable at all (e.g. Chromium forgets local storage or cookies, app crash on start for everyone on given platform). I might be also a bit selfish, as I will mostly test it for my workflow to work (and won't downgrade if it still works for me), so if some kind of the features breaks which I don't usually use or isn't reproducible with my current environment at all, it is likely to be broken in the next WebCord version (unless catched by users of webcord-git or other nightlies; I doubt but maybe actually someone uses GitHub artifacts?).
