What do you think of the admittedly hack-ey solution of just running a bunch of versions?
Maybe it doesn't matter so much for humble node runners who only care about verifying a few transactions every once in a while, but I've often wondered if mining pools do this as a way of making sure that they don't waste resources.

It's a non-solution for me, not because it's hacky (a comprehensive test suite would test a node release against multiple compilers and CPU architectures), but because it finds problems in production environment (instead of during development), which is unacceptable for the most important monetary network in the world.
