I have pushed a fix for, hopefully. Commit 319463920c.

It inverts the dependencies, making xref only depend on project.el 
implicitly, by requiring Emacs >= 26.3, and making it work with the 
older API. And making project depend on the latest xref.

Hopefully this reversal won't create any problems when upgrading.
