compat scripts has to be converted to core framework anway. README-conversion.txt, compat2core.py and the debug option to show the deprecated stuff are able to help the conversion process. There are remaining issues like such described in T136513.
Regarding to the compat module I think it shouldn't be necessary anymore after this long time and it shouldn't be used anyway. There is no reason to use pywikibot.compat.catlib.Category instead of` pywikibot.Category` or pywikibot.compat.userlib.User instead of` pywikibot.User` or pywikibot.compat.query.GetData(request) instead of pywikibot.data.api.request(**request).submit(). Ok the last one looks a bit strange but there a a lot of high level Page or Site methods which could be used instead. What might be the reason to keep this old stuff? Older releases of the pywikibot framework are tagged with a version number and can be downloaded easily if needed.
