Is there any technically viable and supported method to migrate this Nextcloud application directly from Cloudron 7.4.1 to an existing Cloudron 7.3.6 instance, without upgrading the destination?
It is no longer possible since the app store API changed. You will have to update.

If we use a recent Cloudron version, can we import the historical Nextcloud 4.17.0 application backup into an existing destination instance without affecting its other applications or users?
If you try to import an app from e.g.: Cloudron 10.1.0 to Cloudron 7.3.6 or Cloudron 7.4.1. No, the same issue as above.
Also, another issue is that newer Cloudron version use different MySQL and PostgreSQL versions which might not be backwards compatible.
In all honesty, the best approach would be to install a new Cloudron server on the latest version and slowly migrate all the apps from the outdated ones to this new Cloudron server.
This also is protecting the current running infrastructure from any issues.
And with every software, keep it updated.
