In general? No I don't recommend to downgrade to 2.4.3 for normal 
operation. It's just currently the best option to workaround the bug 
introduced in 2.5.0 regarding resuming LUKS1 decryption operation.

You'd need the old version only for this particular case. Nothing else.

Anyway, I'll send patch to upstream soon so there will be a proper fix 
for 2.7.0 and later releases.

Kind regards
