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.

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.
