Please open bug reports with important severity and mention that you plan to raise those to "serious" in X months. Doing test rebuilds of those while replacing libfuse-dev with libfuse3-dev in Build-Depends will likely help to see if there are some that can be trivially switched. But this is definetely a much-needed transition that needs some work and care. It will not happen without that. Another (maybe stupid) idea to explore: I would suggest to rename the "fuse" binary package to "fuse2" (without adding any Provides) so that any dependency on "fuse" actually installs "fuse3" and we will discover sooner if some packages are not working with fuse3.
