I can confirm that some campaigns that are updated using the latest patch of WE might not work with older patches. Notable examples were the ones made by MedMapGuy and OutsiderXE.
But, as tulee said, staying on the most recent Warcraft 3 Reforged patch (2.0.1) without switching between multiple versions is a good option for playing all custom campaigns and maps. Some of the recently introduced issues like wrong unit/hero portraits and invisible textures might be obvious, but those don't particularly affect gameplay much at all. You can't play certain campaign or map if they are made with the third-party World Editor (like the ones that are made with JNGP) or used some kind of memory hacks (like DOTA, which obviously requires 1.26). Also, certain campaigns like The Chosen One tend to bug on the latest patch.

I think there was one more post in this thread, which was deleted by HIVE for no reason, about World Editor not working, which I couldn't reply to at the time and then kinda forgot. You have to do some kind of registry trick, mainly deleting the key that was causing the problem. Could have been related to the game version.
