I like your post. Been considering Vue for a while.

In the above case, there was a security vulnerability with React with the older version that still worked with v2 of the firebase library.
I asked this question because I wasn't happy seeing React just make breaking changes and cut support off like that.

What "security vulnerability" are you talking about?
None of React's recent releases have had anything to do with security vulnerabilities. And, as I described in my other comment, the changes were in React-Redux, not React, and the changes that broke other libraries were not considered part of our public API.
One of the strongest sides of Vue is that it's opinionated and very easy to get started with; if you've used React before you'll feel right at home. While the library obviously keeps evolving over time, most of the knowledge applicable from version 1 from years ago is still relevant today — the core API is very stable.
Most of all, however, I would like to highlight that keeping up to the bleeding edge of any ecosystem in the modern frontend world will be a pain. You don't have to use the latest release of everything, use a good stable build and you'll run into a lot less headaches.
