Description
It would be good to check a new functions, not existing in minimum required WP version. Let say, if I set
<config name="minimum_supported_wp_version" value="5.1"/>
I should get an error for the following line
wp_ajax_health_check_dotorg_communication();
as this function was introduced in 5.2.0.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the minimum_supported_wp_version configuration is read and how function calls are currently checked. Use the wp_ajax_health_check_dotorg_communication() example as the validation case; done means an error is reported when the configured minimum WordPress version is 5.1 and the function was introduced in 5.2.0.
