Yes, it needs QEMU version >= 10.1. However, when I set the machine version to < 10.1
(tested with version 6.2), the migration still works fine and the clipboard still functions on the other node.
It seems that the machine version is unrelated here.

I suppose it would be better to check the QEMU version using get_running_qemu_version, wouldn't it?
