PS5 version controller support
I’ve been playing the PS4 version Apex with a DualShock 4 and the back button attachment. Native PS5 games won’t let you use a DualShock 4 with them. The back button attachment has become essential...

In anticipation of this, I just bought an AIM PS5 controller. Battle Beaver and scuf still haven't released theirs for market. I use a scuf PS4 controller, but as you suggested, I expect it may not function once next gen comes in, which seems like any day now, quite possibly as soon as S12 launch day.
However, it's not up to Respawn to worry about this issue. Sony needs to come out with a PS5 back button assembly soon, please. I really hope they care!
Sony allows older arcade sticks to work so it’s absolutely possible. I’d just like Respawn to request the feature. When the back button attachment was released many assumed back buttons would become standard on the new consoles. It’s very strange Sony released it and didn’t follow suit with it.
Well, the good news is that it's not needed to play at the top level. Lots of top controller pros and streamers use button puncher or some other button layout, rather than back buttons.
