decided to give the latest mariadb a go - seems to work.  backup from mysql 5.7 & stop container, spin up mariadb 10.4.8 on same port, recreate db&mythtv user manually and finally restore backup.
BE connects and shows clients reconnecting, mythweb happy and no errors in 'mythbackend' console for the first few minutes of startup. FE plays back fine and feels like it's a tad quicker although could well be placebo.

guess we'll see over the next week if anything shows itself.
