It doesn't look like anything is going to change in the near

factor of 20 with version 1.18 of Unicode::Normalize than with version
1.17. I don't think that's acceptable.
It turns out that the deprecation that triggered the XS removal was
apparently a misunderstanding and that the XS part of the module will be
resurrected with the next release of the distribution.
A new version of Biber has just been released, and I'll be updating
soon, probably some time next week. I've confirmed that it works fine
with version 1.23 of Unicode::Normalize, so feel free to update the
latter whenever you're ready.
Thanks for holding off until the issue got resolved.
