It depends. The old configuration files are left in place and untouched. So after a conversion there are two copies of the configuration data: one for 2.6.x and older (which are completely unchanged) and one for 3.x. On the other hand there are a few changes to the data file format of the gnucash book itself. So if the user successfully ran gnucash 3.8 and made changes to the book itself, there is a chance gnucash 2.6.19 or older won't be able to open it anymore. This depends on which data the user has exactly. However gnucash 2.6.21 should still be able to work with this book.
