Epson v850 scanner driver compatibility with modern operating systems?

Question

From Epson's page for the v850 Scanner, it states under the "General" section that the list of supported operating systems are:

Windows® 8 – 8.1
Windows 7
Windows Vista®
Windows XP®
Windows XP Professionnal x64 Edition
Mac OS® X 10.6.x – 10.10.x

None of the listed operating systems are current.  The last release for OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) was in July 2017 and Windows 8.1 was in released in 2013.
So do the Epson drivers work under the current versions of each operating system (Windows 10 and/or macOS 11, Big Sur)?
And if not, are there any work arounds?
