I have a few containers on the last OSS Elasticsearch version, and everybody uses the last filesystem-transparent Minio version. I am not sure why you are being downvoted, this is not a good plan but definitely happens in practice.

Minio used to have a filesystem backend that would store each file as a file on the local filesystem. They removed this, so lots of people still use the last version before that.

I guess this is more okay when the dated versions are not exposed publicly but are backing services, but in general it might be a question of time until some CVE puts you at risk or there's a bug that will never be fixed.
I like the idea of having "feature complete" software that you can use from now until the end of time (or at least the end of whatever product you're working on), I just don't think this is always feasible with the way we develop software.
I only recently discovered minio and started using it for a project. What are you referring to by “last file system-transparent Minio version” for my own awareness?
