I haven't added the slots yet, so of course it won't work.
As for disabling properties on old versions of ASDF that don't
actually support them,
that's what #+asdf3 is for, just like #+asdf2 before it.
Hopefully, two years from now we can assume everyone has moved from
ASDF2 to ASDF3,
just like today we can safely assume no one uses ASDF1 anymore.
