Except if you release a new/updated app, it MUST target a recent (less than a year) targetSdkVersion.

"2019 onwards: Each year the targetSdkVersion requirement will advance. Within one year following each Android dessert release, new apps and app updates will need to target the corresponding API level or higher."

That's Play Store policy for new apps and app updates, not a technical limitation of the OS. Old apps will keep working just like they did before, the new APIs will not break them.
