The gist is you need to run new with new and old with old, don't mix match an old servo with a newer ESC and visa versa
That is not the issue. Analog servo's are just made to work with the 50~60 Hz framerate, any faster setting like digital, SR, SSR, SXR etc. The same counts for normal digital servo's that do not support super response modes. In most ways you can set the channel to "analog". Still that is not the issue in this topic.

I would not say incompatible because high chance with others it can work without issues. A tolerance thing, design revision, wrong component choice or an alternative component choice with a production serie and lets not forget the huge amount of fake components that hit the market in Corona time. And I know because I work at an electronic production company facing this on a daily base. All issues that can not directly named as an incompatibility.
