I think the most we could do is have notmuch-emacs print a more
informative message telling the user to upgrade notmuch (patches for
that would be welcome; I haven't decided if it makes sense to bump the
notmuch schema version).

Quoting https://melpa.org/#/notmuch

    Note for MELPA users (and others tracking the development version
    of notmuch-emacs):

    This emacs package needs a fairly closely matched version of the
    notmuch program. If you use the MELPA version of notmuch.el (as
    opposed to MELPA stable), you should be prepared to track the
    master development branch (i.e. build from git) for the notmuch
    program as well. Upgrading notmuch-emacs too far beyond the notmuch
    program can CAUSE YOUR EMAIL TO STOP WORKING.

    TL;DR: notmuch-emacs from MELPA and notmuch from distro packages is
    NOT SUPPORTED.
