I am ignorant, but if I understand correctly, the boot partition contains a Linux kernel and an initramfs. There should be very few kernel-level updates in minor system upgrades, thus I guess that boot partitions should be pretty much compatible with various versions (my experience of backporting Linux kernels on computers seems to coincide with this).

Anyway, the approach I proposed does not involve "flashing a boot image not related to the existing boot image". I wanted to say that, use `fastboot boot` to boot the system with an old (Magisk-patched) boot image, and use Magisk to install itself on the boot partition.
