From the issue:
I'm wondering if it might be possible to support version 3.5.2 in 0.37.0 or if it's too late and then if anyone might have any insight on that issue. The writeup in the ticket looks frightening, but it's hard to tell what our chances are that we'll run into it. Ideally we would not want to take the risk. |

Reporting back on this for anyone who might find it in the future. We upgraded from Strimzi/Kafka 0.37.0/3.4.0 directly to 0.42.0/3.7.1 in production without any issue whatsoever.

For completeness, in staging I tested downgrading all the way back the original 0.37.0/3.4.0 and it took 5 steps:
