It's hard to predict when the settings might "break". At some point 0ad development might introduce a breaking change to the config settings. This might just cause a harmless warning, or something more serious such as a setting, even a login name and pwd, being erased.
I don't know what policy the 0ad team has for advertising when there's a breaking change to the settings, or more specifically, when there's a change that would cause havoc if switching back-and-forth between different versions.
There is a way to isolate your config, logs, and replays by using the -writableRoot option. To use it with the AppImage, you'd need to first use --appimage-extract as an argument to the appimage.
That extracts the image into 'squashfs-root'. Then use cd squashfs-root and usr/bin/pyrogenesis -writableRoot
0ad will look for your config and create files (cache, replays, screenshots, etc) in squasfs-root/usr/data
Each time you want to run 0ad using that version, you need to be in that squashfs-root directory and use the -writableRoot option. (The AppImage only has to be extracted the one time).
