Polyrhythm for Drumset - cannot convert polyrhythm files created in previous version
In a drumset score I have a polyrhythm created using museScore 1.3 but when converted in museScore 3.6 the polyrhythms are placed in separate measures and I haven't been able to create the polyrhythm from scratch in 3.6

That's definitely one seriously messed-up import from 1.3 ! The snare notes for the third measure of exercise 2 -- which should be measure 6 - reports in the status bar as being in measure 2!
No idea how that happened, and I'd encourage you to submit a bug report to the issue tracker on that. Meanwhile, though, it should be perfectly possible to recreate those examples in 3.6. Is there one in particular you are having trouble figuring out how to enter?

This bug appears as a bug report so hopefully it will be resolved in some future update.
BTW, importing via musicXML is almost correct.
If you look at the pdfs for both versions you can see that in the third column some of the polyrhythms are out of alignment, leaving the upper voice not evenly spaced.
I have managed to create the polyrhythms manually, but seeing I already have written many drum exercises, cheat sheets and books in musescore 1.3 this is not a viable alternative. I wonder how many drummers use museScore. I have found it extremely useful up until now but the drum section has other problems on which I am submitting another bug report.

This is the forum - a good place to discuss things, figure out if something is a bug or just a misunderstanding, But as a first step to considering fixes, and for use to track issues, they need to be reported in the issue tracker.
As I said, if you say which rhythm you are having trouble entering, we can try to help. I agree your 1.3 score doesn't import well, but it should be fine to recreate rhythms like this in MuseScore 3. But indeed, when there are overlapping tuplets like this, spacing can be a little unequal and require manual adjustment in any version of MuseScore thus far. Something we hope to finally improve in MuseScore 4.
And FWIW, tons of drummers use MuseScore, it's actually one of the most popular notation programs in the world specifically for percussion and drumline music.

Some times it helps to import 1.x score in 2.x first, and only then in 3.x
