So I've gone through codesearch on Debian and there are no users apart from a bunch of defines for __NR_uselib when it isn't defined.

This will be a long process of course but the starting point is to set CONFIG_USELIB=n in all new Ubuntu versions. I spoke to Eric and apparently RHEL 8 has it disabled too. The regression potential is quite minimal as this interface should have very few users and libc hasn't used it since libc4 or libc5. I was wondering what people's opinion on this were.
