This "deprecation" was never visible at any level, there's no discovery path for anyone that found or otherwise used these and stuck with it.
But none of that matters: The most recent Debian 12 installer still unavoidably selects US/Pacific for people living there, today.

If you're running Debian 12 and Postgres, you're in or around the Americas, and you're planning on upgrading to Debian 13, you might hit a fun little snag [..]

This post by #RachelByTheBay a few years ago had a big impact on how I think about server infrastructure: "One machine can go pretty far if you build things properly" https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2022/01/27/scale/
Taking that a step further, I think one small, inexpensive, underpowered (by today's standards) machine can go pretty far with reasonably efficient software.
