It depends. If I read correctly the porting guide to Gcc 11 [1] and if the number of occurrence of the issue is reasonable, then you can just patch the throw(BadOptionSetting) occurrences to replace them by noexcept(false). If the number of occurrences is too high to make a patch viable, then similarly to mothur, the advice from Aaron M. Ucko applies: informing upstream and temporarily getting back to C++14 is probably the saner course of action.
