How much of a problem is that in practice?

I have to deal with compatibility problems in all of the current
releases already:
      * URI changes and data migration in 2.32
      * account/config changes in 3.0
      * and now header file changes in 3.1

If the header file change had been done such that a single >= 3.0 check
is enough I wouldn't mind, but it doesn't seem like 3.0 has a libebook.h
(picking just one example).

Is there a chance to add the headers to 3.0 before it gets released?

If not, then I'd prefer to not make this change.
