AMD has never disappointed me in this regard.

Zen 4 will being using a new socket, I wouldn’t go buying a Zen 3 with plans to upgrade the CPU down the road.
Well, you should still get one last upgrade out of an AM4 socket in the form of the upcoming 5800X3D ( https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d )
This is already known for a long time already. You would have to actively choose to not listen to AMD news to not know.
I understand just making sure no one jumps on Zen 3 now with a promise of forwards compatibility.
8 years isn't a bad run for a CPU socket.
