That's not the question I asked - have these platforms ever worked with
older kernel versions?

It's partly the principle of the thing, if it were just patches that
had individually been identified as being good for stable by someone
with some understanding of the code (like this one :/ ) that were being
backported I'd be a lot less concerned but the automated selections are
missing dependencies or other context and people are reporting problems
with them so I'm inclined to push back on things.
