You might worry if you want these features:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/releases/4.0/release-notes/. PV based
R3.2.1 is more vulnerable to Spectre/Meltdown class exploits, IIRC.

Unsupported means the Qubes team is no longer releasing security or
functionality updates. (ADW or anyone, is this better defined somewhere?
Expected to see it on https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/supported-versions/,
but couldn't find it there or on older News items).

Right, it's just the standard meaning of unsupported or end-of-life
software: no more bug fixes or updates. (Since security updates are a
type of update, that means no more security updates.)

Less and less secure you mean, but that's right.

Depends on your security requirements. You have to determine the answer
to that.
