Makes perfect sense, and should have been something Apple gave a warning about. I know they're ridiculously aggressive about pushing their latest OS. This is a FrankenMac pretty much though.
2009 Mac Pro that I upgraded the Chips in and did a Bios flash to get it to work with the new chips and faster RAM. But I'm still not running the right video card for Mojave... Sorry about that, and I certainly wouldn't blame you if you only supported the latest OS because of things like this.
