So turn off the deprecation warnings for now. They're just a heads up that

I doubt you'd prefer not to be aware of the change well in advance.
Oh, absolutely. We run those "on" in our dev and QA environments but off in
production. I'm referring to the work required to mitigate the removal once we plan to
migrate to 9. Although our codebase is old, we are funded to keep the code up to date.
It's just that a handful of the changes, such as removing dynamic properties, has such a
large impact and such a questionable benefit.
Removing dynamic properties has multiple benefits - from avoiding
typos/mistakes (which before were completely silent) from being able to
refactor objects in PHP in general (after PHP9) to be more efficient.
The RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_dynamic_properties) details
those benefits quite well, if there were no benefits it would hardly
have passed. This is one of the no-brainer changes for me, as the
upgrade path with the attribute is so easy and there are so many benefits.
