Sorry Shawn, you are right, I didn't explain very clearly. So basically, in
Solr 8.11.1,  I can see that updating an existing document, e.g. {"id":
"22468d41-3b...", "title": "Old title"}:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' '
http://localhost:8983/solr/clients_main/update?commit=true' --data "{'add':
{'doc':{'id': '22468d41-3b...', 'title': 'New title'}}}"

I get two docs with the same id and different titles in the index. That is
different to the behaviour I see using Solr 7.5, which is a single document
with the updated title.To get that with the same schema in Solr 8.11.1, I
have to add this to the schema:

<field name="_root_" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false">

So without the _root_ definition, the behaviour is as expected in Solr 7.5
but produces duplicate documents in Solr 8.11. I haven't noticed Solr
complainig if the _root_ field is not defined.

So my question was if that is expected, as that field seems to be related
to parent-child documents, which I don't use at all.

The definition for the id field in my schema.xml is similar to the one you
posted:

<fieldType name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true"/>
<field name="id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"
docValues="false"/>
<uniqueKey>id</uniqueKey>
