In my opinion one has to distinguish between - pure bug fixes, - legal changes, and - new features.
The changes in Gnucash from version 3.7 to 3.8 and beyond are mainly covering changes because of regulatory changes of the European Union (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Services_Directive), which is neither bug fixing nor new feature developement to me. I would vote for GnuCash 3.8 or better the upcoming 3.9 version to be integrated into one of the next point releases of Debian Buster (10.4 or 10.5). Without that, the GnuCash version within the current Debian stable release will be largely useless for online banking within the European Union. I'm running Debian Buster too and I have currently - uninstalled Gnucash and the related Gwenhywfar and AqBanking packages - cloned the current versions from the respective Git repositories, - and have built and installed them into /usr/local. This works to my satisfaction. The attached (text)script might give you a good starting point, but it makes no claim to completeness.
