References?
In my trawl of the Tomcat archives those using the JAAS realm appeared
to have better solutions available whereas those using JASPIC were doing
so for the "right" reasons.
If there is evidence that the JAAS realm is meeting a user need I'd like
to see it (and understand why JAAS is a better solution than the
alternatives).

(and
not even speaking of Jakarta Security which has no link with two previous
ones).
Main difference is the fact JAAS is in the JVM (with some impl like OS one
which is not always trivial to do portably) whereas two others are not so
it means you easily find a JAAS login module implementation and you don't
find integrations for others so think it makes sense to keep JAAS
integration more than others in default delivery.

In reviewing references to Java EE (and J2EE) remaining in the Tomcat 10
repo I found the following:
<quote source="webapps/docs/config/realm.xml">
JAASRealm is prototype for Tomcat of the JAAS-based J2EE authentication
framework for J2EE v1.4, based on the <a
href="https://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=196";>JCP Specification
Request 196</a> to enhance container-managed security and promote
'pluggable' authentication mechanisms whose implementations would be
container-independent.
</quote>
JSR became JASPIC (now Jakarta Security) and Tomcat has an
implementation.
Searching through the mailing lists I found the following references to
usage of the JAASRealm (going back ~5 years).
[1] Tomcat 7 user using JAAS based auth to an LDAP server
[2] Tomcat 9 user using SPNEGO with the JAAS realm
[3] Tomcat 8.5 user using SPNEGO with the JAAS realm
[4] Tomcat 7 users with custom CLIENT-CERT auth based on JAAS realm
[5] User wanting access to HttpServletRequest during auth
Most, if not all, of those have better solutions available than the JAAS
Realm. And those wanting some form of custom auth do have the "proper"
Jakarta Security API to work with.
Therefore, I'm not currently seeing a good reason to keep the JAASRealm.
Any objections to immediate deprecation with removal planned for 10.1.x?
No objections,
go for it
