Is it always recommended to use matching versions of gRPC for all languages in the same system?

I would like to use a recent version of java gRPC to address some security vulnerabilities in netty, but the node gRPC is behind multiple versions. Does it matter if the java and node gRPC versions don't match? The gRPC services are written in java.

Thanks

You should be able to move to the recent version of gRPC Java in your use-case. Unless you know of a specific feature in the new version affecting the wire protocol (very unlikely) I don't see why moving to the newer gRPC Java version would be problematic for you.
