I'm wondering, if dependencies like yours are widely used and if
extending the requires section support to extensions would help to solve your problem (with that you could specify a specific version, a range of version or any version above a specific one, or all versions, too, so your VIKIJS_VERSION wouldn't be needed anymore, too).
That sounds like https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Improving_extension_manage... , also at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88596 from the task:
"on dependencies between extensions -- I don't think there is consensus on whether to specify those dependencies in extension.json or composer.json (TimStarling, 21:36:55)"
Would you like to open a task in phabricator to discuss this?
