New Rust versions don't change downstream Rust code either, except in edge cases. And those edge cases are only to fix potential security vulnerabilities.

Changing the definition of idiomatic counts as changing downstream code.

Only if you feel like you need to constantly update your code to be idiomatic, which is absolutely unnecessary. No one has to change their code to conform to whatever the new version of "idiomatic" is. Their code will continue to work, and it won't be "bad".
