Thanks! We're not testing 5.3 yet in CI but the alpha has been cut; is this compatible or should we add an upper bound there?

This release is not compatible with 5.3 yet. There is an upper bound on merlin-lib and all the other packages depend on it, so that should be enough ?

Thanks, that constraint is enough indeed! You may want to announce this on https://discuss.ocaml.org, where we have a Community category and an announce tag for this purpose.
