I have had the same problem with hugo upgrades. A few tweaks here and there to the template and then found the problems became too great to bother and ended up replacing the entire theme. Even though the new theme was up to date about 5 minor versions ago its already throwing a couple of warnings. Hugo is one of those tools that seems to have a forward compatibility issue and a lot of rot happens to your sites theme without a bunch of work. Can't say I am a big fan of that I mostly don't want to have to deal with these sorts of problems on a static site generator.

This is every site generator, templating system, or CMS I've ever used. Do you know why Drupal can't get people off of version 7, even though versions 8, 9, 10 have come and gone? Because too much stuff is different and the project didn't provide any easy migration path. Too much churn will kill your project. Even if the changes are theoretically or technically improvements, users will refuse to adopt them, and those who went through it will never consider using your software again. I know that Drupal is on my permanent "never touch this" list and I used to be a pretty happy user and even something of an evangelist for it.
