Worst case, every major release (like 4.1 -> 4.2).

The later.

You can't avoid testing if you develop software, but one systematic way
is to read the release notes of major releases, there such changes are
documented, e.g. for 4.1:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1#API_Changes

and then see if any of the changes API's are used by your extension.
