Add a Script button in W3 Total Cache plugin not working due to conflicting jQuery version

While trying to fix the Render-Blocking issue on my website, I ran into a problem with the W3 Total Cache plugin on its Minify settings page.

The two buttons to add JS (Add a script) and CSS (Add a style sheet) are not working, nothing happens after clicking them.

The cause of the issue can be seen in the browser console error message (WP uses jQuery 1.12.4, W3TC requires jQuery 1.9)

    at HTMLDocument.K (load-scripts.php?c=0load[]=jquery-core,utilsver=4.8.5:2)

options.js is the file causing the issue on lines like this (jQuery(...).live has been deprecated since jQuery 1.9):

jQuery('#pgcache__reject__logged_roles').live('click', function(){
        w3tc_input_enable('#pgcache_reject_roles input[type=checkbox]', jQuery('#pgcache__reject__logged_roles:checked').size());
    });

What would be the most acceptable and cleanest way to resolve the issue:

• Is there an updated W3TC plugin?
• Is there a clean way to make W3TC use different jQuery version than WP?
• Using a jQuery plugin like jQuery Migrate?
• Manually changing the affected lines?
