I have just posted draft -08 that contains all the changes listed
here. Hopefully this is now ready for IESG last call?

I didn't hear answer to my main question: why is this document requiring
support for vCard 3.0 and not for vCard 4.0?

It needs to support both. Legacy vCard data will be around for a long time and we don't know how quickly clients will adopt it. We have CardDAV implementations already using vCard 3 so I think that is strong justification for keeping it as-is.

The document as written says that support for vCard 3 is a MUST and doesn't say anything about [I-D.ietf-vcarddav-vcardrev], apart for saying it is "in works". I feel this is a bit weak.

I would really like to hear clear consensus from the WG that either this should stay as is, or that [I-D.ietf-vcarddav-vcardrev] should be a SHOULD.
