I'd be very hesitant to include Guile 2.2 in bookworm since I believe it's explicitly not supported upstream and hasn't had a single commit in over two years. If there's any chance LilyPond will support something newer in a reasonable time-frame, I might suggest just waiting, and then introducing the new version via backports. But I don't really understand the situation and constraints. That said, I won't oppose reintroducing 2.2, as long as I'm not responsible for it, and you're willing to herd all the cats to get it removed again as soon as possible. That was a good bit of work I'd prefer not to repeat.
