The NEWS entry says

  * Drop old wire protocol.  Unison will no longer interoperate with
    versions before 2.52.0 and will no longer read pre-2.52.0 archive
    files.

and 2.53.0 is not before 2.52.0.   I don't understand how that statement
could be interpreted as creating an expecation of problems wwhen the
oldest version in your world is 2.53.0.

You should, however, be sure that every sync (pair of replicas, via
preferences file or command-line invocation) has been run at least once
since that machine was first updated from pre-2.52.0 to >= 2.52.0.

Of course there could be; there is always the possibility that things
are not as we think.

There is no expectation of trouble in updating from 2.53.8 or 2.53.0 to
2.54.0.
