Just migrated to emacs 28.1 and wanted to know if ess release of 2018
is still suitable in 2022.

Please just try them out and see if it works. By trying to save
yourself time, you're asking others to waste theirs answering a
question you can answer yourself.

I’m using ess 18.10.2 and it works for me. I haven’t tried any other
version.

I’d say use whatever’s latest. 2018 was a long time ago so there’s
been progress made on the development.
