How often do archipelago updates *require* bizhawk updates? I have a very long term shuffler project going and I am vaguely aware that gets funky if you update bizhawk itself

Pretty rarely. I would expect that it's probably only Pokemon that really needs 2.9, while everything else should work just fine on 2.7 or 2.8.

That said, can't you just download both versions, use the old one for your shuffler, and 2.9 for AP? You can just download Bizhawk as a zip and extract+run it.

And, actually, checking the setup guide for Pokemon Emerald, which I should've done before posting, it looks like 2.7 or 2.8 work there too. pre-2.7 Bizhawk has always been "It might work, but use it at your own risk and if you run into issues we're just going to tell you to upgrade" with AP, so if you're using some older version for your shuffler, I definitely recommend just getting 2.9 and extract+run.
