I'm sorry all to reply to my own post. I should have read the

the module I'm questioning is at the root of the issue, so my apologies
again.
As someone who uses DateTime::Format::Strptime quite a bit, what
can one use to convert formats other than this method?
All that's being deprecated are some methods in DateTime::Locale::Base.
However, it looks like Strptime is using them, in which case I think the
fix is to move the CLDR -> strftime translation over to Strptime itself,
where it will be maintained (because it's actually needed).
May I ask why these are being removed?
Because they're not needed for DateTime, which is the primary consumer of
DateTime::Locale, and because DateTime::Locale gets all its data from
CLDR, which unsurprisingly uses this CLDR formatting system ;)
