Will the latest Bootstrap work properly with the default Wordpress jQuery?

Wordpress still uses jQuery 1.x for fear of wrong compatibility with plugins and themes. They are trying to update it, but you can see that it will take a while yet (sources: one, two, three)

Now I am building a WP template where I have to use latest Bootstrap CSS framework. The problem is that Bootstrap uses the latest jQuery 3.5.1 !

So, will the latest Bootstrap work properly with the default Wordpress jQuery?

Note: I understand that I can register the latest jQuery and unregister the old ones, but this is not recommended as other plugins may use the default WP jQuery

Yes - it works fine with BS4 - no conflicts, no issues.

Simple way to test is to install a vanilla WP 5.3.3, create a barebones theme with BS 4 and check the JS console for issues.
