Is that really acceptable in SeaBIOS master at some random time?

At the very least I would expect a flag day with advance publicity.

One way of accomplishing that would be to include a notice of this
change with the next SeaBIOS release and if at all only delete
backwards compatibility in the release after.

Obviously, but is undeniably valuable, even if not to you.

Proper advance notice of a breaking change allows others to invest
effort into coming up with a compatibility solution.
