If your library is a core dependency and it is constantly having breaking updates then something is deeply unwell in the environment. That is not sustainable, and it sounds like your library was created without a clear idea of what it should do.
I've been around long enough to know these things happen, but you're not going to find a good way forward because there isn't one. This is going to be a pain point until either the library is stable or the project fails.
I think it's close to stability. And the scope of the library hasn't changed. It's just solving a complex problem that requires several very large data structures, and I've needed to address a couple important issues along the way.
