Better to know the issues and slowly fix them then get hit with a load of issues blocking users.
Unlike the 1st 20 years of Java where deprecated didn't really mean anything at all... Since Java 9 the guidelines are 1 release with deprecation warning and then things can be removed/dropped/delete/refactored in the following release. So we got use to probably ignoring those warnings and we probably now need to pay attention. I know I would prefer refactoring code with warnings instead of refactoring code with errors. Also in 6 months time Java 18 EA will be branched from the Java 17 Release Candidate... Potentially it could drop support for bytecode version 54.0 and older as why have support for more than 2 LTS versions (11 and 17)...
