Is the higher version of tiup fully compatible with the lower version?
For example, if the cluster is version 6.5, can I download the corresponding tiup version 8.1 to manage and maintain it uniformly?

There is no strong coupling relationship, right? The tiup version is also different from the tidb database version. Generally, it is best to use the latest version of tiup.

Sure, the version number of tiup cluster does not follow tidb. Just use the latest tiup cluster.
