The issues we found were:
Pro Tools would overwrite TC
Timelines that mixed rasters (1080x1080, 1920x1080, etc) would not bounce videos correctly.
Videos set to REC 709 colorspace would be bounces at REC 601.
I believe there the second issue was fixed in a recent release and I am being told that the last issue will be addressed in the next release.

I'm rebuilding my whole system drive so I'm open to OS. However, I'm on an older MBP and going above 2020.09 isn't supported. I know that doesn't mean higher versions don't work, but I don't want to go through the hassle of a fresh install and find out something basic like Bounce To QT isn't working. That's why I was asking how far back can I go while still being relatively current and having BTQ work. I really don't want to upgrade machines right now. I'm kind of bummed they got rid of the 15" as it's perfect for me. I think the 16 is too big & heavy but the 14 is too small but need to go see them in person. I'd like to wait for M2 gen, if possible. If it's just "no go" then I'll bite the bullet and do the upgrade now. I just need everything working the way it's supposed to. I know PT is now qualified with M1, but again I'd like to stick with what I have for another 9-12 months if possible.
So, long answer to your question - Can be any OS version. Can't go above Big Sur. From my cursory reading, it seems like Catalina may be the best fit. Although I wouldn't completely object to staying in Mojave and using whatever the last vrs of PT Ultimate that works properly with it. This way, I could still keep using my 32bit apps that have nothing to do with audio. This is a secondary portable system, but I do need it to function properly.
Thank again for any advice.
Actually, I am doing a second system too, but that one is a 2018 Mac Mini so plenty of room to go to Big Sur & 2021.12 which sounds like it's working properly.
