It has occurred to me that all you need is the length of the tables (in bytes) and then you can save/restore them yourself. I could most easily do this by adding a new option to pcre2_config(). [It's not really a configuration value, but that saves having to invent a whole new function.] Does this seem reasonable/useful?
