    So if I use the following script in footer
    <script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/vendor/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    It messes with plugins that rely on wordpress jquery version. But if I use it in header is render-blocking which is not good for performance. Maybe using no-conflict?

    No mention of whether you are also using jQuery Migrate 3.3.x? That is a must and this plugin can do both for you: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-updater/

    I’ve used the plugin with WordPress v5.4 and v5.5 without problems, although your mileage will vary depending on plugins used.
