Are you willing to take the risk? Deprecated might mean: There are known weaknesses. Or: Less reviewed code path.

It's mostly about deprecating old APIs where a newer more general API is available, sometimes for more than 10 years.

Deprecated can mean anything. They cannot remove any function due to being a C shared library. Removing functions or global symbols would break linking and runtime initialization.
