Sounds like we do!
A bare minimum of legacy wallet code is kept in order to perform wallet migration.

As long as people didn't configure --with-incompatible-bdb on <= 28.0 (back when there was autotools), yes. There will always be people that fall through the gap but luckily most bitcoiners will help you f2f.
