With proper release management, it should be possible to run the old version of the process until the new version has been tested, first on some smaller wikis, and gradually on the larger ones.
I understand your frustration; however release management was not the issue in this case. According to Ariel Glenn on the task (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98585#1284441), "It's not a new leak, it's just that the largest single stubs file in our dumps runs is now produced by wikidata!".
I.E. it was caused by changes to the input data (i.e. our projects), not by changes to the code.
