[slurm-users] Is this a known error?

I believe 8704 corresponds to 19.05.x, which is no longer accepted in
21.08.x.

I don't think slurmd connects directly to slurmdbd, so perhaps it is
some frontend node or machine outside the cluster itself which has the
slurm commands installed and is doing requests to slurmdbd (sacct,
sacctmgr, etc.)?

With SlurmdbdDebug set to debug or higher, new client connections will
be logged with

[2021-12-08T09:00:07.992] debug:  REQUEST_PERSIST_INIT: CLUSTER:saga VERSION:9472 UID:51568 IP:10.2.3.185 CONN:8

in slurmdbd.log.  But perhaps that will not happen if slurmdbd fails to
unpack the header?
