I has noticed that.

We use groff for

a)      Letters,
b)      Invoices, Quotes
c)      Contracts,
d)      Technical Reports, Mathematics and Engineering.

and we produce primarily PDFs or printer-read Postscript

The footer and header changes between releases have not affected us much.
But I agree, variations between releases are a pain.

I must admit that far worse is the change between a working Ghostscript in 
CentOS 6.6 which displays nicely on a Gnome desktop and a Ghostscript in
CentOS 7.9 which segfaults just as it trys to bring the window up.

At least I or somebody else can fix, or has a fix for, the MM stuff.

Stay safe - Damian
