I know "it works for me" isn't necessarily helpful. But this warning isn't
about visors - it's about specific versions of pilot-link. For USB, you need
a 0.11.x version, unless it's a visor for which 0.9.x versions are OK, and
certain 0.11.x versions are known to cause problems with jpilot.

If your visor/PC combination doesn't get on with specific versions of
pilot-link then, by all means, try older versions. But I actually found that
I needed 0.11.x to get my old visor to work on this PC. It seems to be a
rather odd area that often requires fiddling.
