Can I use YDL 3.0.1 on a Mac Mini?

The reason you have to use 4.0.91 is that no X older than what it
includes is going to work on the Mini well either. This most certainly
includes the antique X thats going to be in 3.01

3.01 has no use except on OId World systems, or those who already have
it installed and do not wish to upgrade. It is not suitable for new
install on New World systems.
