Looking at Pacemaker 2.1, I see that both corosync 2 and corosync 3

July 2019. Will there come a point when a future Pacemaker release
might only support the Corosync 3 (or later) series?
There's nothing that Pacemaker has to do specially for Corosync 2 vs 3,
so it's unlikely support will ever be dropped for just 2. Of course
everything changes eventually, but nothing's on the horizon.
If you're choosing between the two, keep in mind Corosync 3 doesn't
support rolling upgrades from 2, even though Pacemaker itself doesn't
care.
Are there good use cases today where Corosync 2 is a better choice?
Not that I know of. I'd only use it when it's what the OS provides.
There are a few features only supported by 2 (like node discovery via
multicast), but I don't think they're worth staying on 2.
Just to add that Corosync 2 will probably get only one final release and
we will stop supporting it completely, so I would recommend to choose
Corosync 3 (with exception where your distro still ships Corosync 2 only
- then it is probably better to use distro package).
