I'm pretty sure the OpenBSD guys have moved to dwarf2 by default at some
point.  Certainly appears that way looking at my OpenBSD 6.2 VM.

In the case of LynxOS, I haven't used it in about 25 years.  I have no
clue if they've moved away from stabs yet.  However, I don't think we
should let that stand in the way of moving towards deprecation.

My biggest worry WRT deprecation of stabs is AIX.
