I think it is good to upgrade the version of libusb to 1.0.26 since it fixed multiple critical issues of 1.0.24 (macOS, Linux and Windows).
Same thing that it is good to upgrade hidapi to 0.11.2 release. Then it is good to revisit libftdi which is skipped now. avrdude native Windows mingw github action for reference: it has support for MSYS2 libusb-1.0, libftdi and hidapi, which is usually quite up to date. https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml -- Xiaofan
