What's the compatibility like here. If one node creates a v2 image,
can a host which only knows v1 still use that v2 image for booting
guests ?


Only very old clients won't be able to open v2 images when they only support v1.

Ceph is however a fast moving project where almost all users are on the most recent versions of Ceph due to new features and bug fixes.
