Instead of reverting the updates to appease those who've been ignoring the warnings, a way forward could be to gate the old API behind an environment variable, with a name like "TEMPORARILY_REENABLE_DEPRECATED_APIS". And maybe put an expiry on the variable so it resets occasionally. Otherwise the project just becomes mired and stagnant.
