However, it only works for Fdroid itself.

Another reason why F-Droid shouldn’t have tried to jump to version 2.0

That’s a misunderstanding, only the UI/UX is changed, the way apps are installed is still controlled by your Android.

Is it an old app that can’t be autoupdated? Yes, you’ll get prompted in both 1.23.1 and 2.0-alpha1 (look at the app details, it will have a big banner saying as much)

You want to update an app installed by “the other” app? Yes, you’ll get prompted in both 1.23.1 and 2.0-alpha1

For this interaction, nothing has changed.

For some interactions, eg, install, you’ll get prompted in 2.0 BEFORE download even, so it’s even easier. But that still depends on your Android and not on F-Droid.
