There is a fairly straightforward way to load older versions of packages, and that is to use the 'groundhog' package. As the first sentence of https://groundhogr.com/ puts it: Make your R scripts reproducible by replacing library(pkg) with groundhog.library(pkg, date). pkg can be a vector of package names or a single name.

Is that a method where a program that I write today would still run without changes in 10 years?

Thank you very much :-)), this worked! Now the loaded libraries are compatible with each other.
