7/10 High

Webhook endpoints must be configured via API to set API versions, making it complicated to deploy Stripe API changes without throwing exceptions. Multiple webhook endpoints must be maintained in parallel for different API versions.

It's really non-intuitive because it means you have to set webhook endpoints using Stripe's API because only then the API version is configurable, but it also makes deploying Stripe API changes kind of complicated because you need to create multiple webhook endpoints in parallel
