Do I need to worry about new startScan()/getScanResults() restrictions if both compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion are 21?

Question

My app stop working on Android Pie but my project (very old!) is

compileSdkVersion 21
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21

Do you think I need to rewrite the code that uses WiFiManager to respect the latest Android security restrictions?

You won't be able to publish to Google Play unless you target API 26+, so if you want to publish to Google Play or provide a experience that is consistent with other modern apps, you would need to rewrite your WifiManager code to comply with the latest Android security restrictions.
