Cannot confirm or deny the exact start moment of the problem. Did not look into it as I went the trial and error way, before starting to understand what the underlying issues were.
Ever since OpenWrts with a sysupgrade that is aware of the problem but still with the problem in the kernel, it will reject the upgrade. You can safely test using the -T option; it will not write anything.

Much older firmwares will be OK. So the risk is in those of in-between when the problem existed but had not been discovered yet. To go a safe way I recommend the one-time factory upgrade.
The flash writing is then done by the bootloader. In case the RS(pro) is difficult to physically access but the power supply can be accessed there is a trick. A pin hole opening in the power supply and pressing a miniature switch behind it with a pin and connecting power will bring the RS in tftp upload mode.
