In case a CRD is outdated, deserialization cannot happen, see details here:
https://github.com/operator-framework/java-operator-sdk/blob/main/adr/002-Custom-Resource-Deserialization-Problem.md

But the retry seems to be not happening as logged here:
https://github.com/operator-framework/java-operator-sdk/blob/main/operator-framework-core/src/main/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/processing/event/source/informer/InformerWrapper.java#L97

We should add an IntegrationTest to check if this is still retried and the actual problem can be fixed in runtime.
This might be changed in fabric8 client.
