The v4 engine emits native cascade layers, registered custom properties through @property, and color-mix(). Those are not polyfillable, so there is no legacy output mode and no build flag to get one.

On an older browser the page does not fail loudly. Colours with alpha modifiers fall back to nothing, layer ordering collapses, and the result looks like a stylesheet loaded halfway. That makes it easy to miss in testing if the matrix only covers current browsers.

If the support target includes anything older, stay on Tailwind 3.4, which is still maintained for that reason. Check the real numbers against your analytics before upgrading, because the cutoff is roughly March 2023 for Safari and July 2024 for Firefox.
