I ended up accidentally discovering that the VL53LX API is compatible with two different sensors.
I'm using this platform implementation for Linux
https://github.com/ned14/VL53L3CX_rasppi
I have the VL53L3CX but also the VL53L4CD. I've seen that the VL53L4CD doesn't have a "full complexity" driver available in the downloads. Is the VL53LX API compatible with ALL VL53L**** sensors? Is there anything I should worry about because the VL53L4CD doesn't have an API other than the ULD or the ULP?

ST is delivering a package HW + SW that has been validated.
If you can find some compatibility between HW and SW when giving a try, ST doesn't guarantee it will work for ever and that this will not damage your sensors.
