How do you propose I update my distro (fedora) and just don't update text editor? Are you in a habit of bringing a chroot with known good versions of your tools to every computer you ssh into? Like, I'd really want to have that. May it be I've missed some new thing that allows me to not update?

Don't install neovim with your system package manager, just like your other development tools. If you rely on a tool where the version makes a big difference, you should be in control of it, not the system package manager. You can build it from the source (which works fine) or use something like Bob [1].
