In my opinion, continued use of depreciated software is a practice that
should be avoided whenever possible. Inevitably, it causes problems as
you are now experiencing.

I am somewhat surprised that the older software is not compatible with
the newer version of MySQL. Usually, it is the other way around. Have
you checked to see if newer versions of the incompatible software
exist? I would be willing to wager that they have been updated to
accommodate the newer MySQL versions.
