Do I need to continue using Ionic for mobile apps?

Question

Some ionic "features" stop me to continue using it to develop mobile applications.

It is a different version of framework. It seems like it doesn't support the backward compatibilities.

I develop mobile apps for the past few years, I need to modify/enhance my old existing apps at a later time, a year or more, (only for the style and HTML). However, I often ran into an app that cannot be built for iOS or Android. I have to google the solution and different errors kept popping up. Sometimes, I only need to just increase the version number of an app for iOS/Android certificates, and they still failed to build.

If I just want to simply use ionic to wrap a web app and install it on mobile devices, do we need to always keep the ionic version to the up-to-date version? but the up-to-date version might fail to build somehow.
