I'm not sure I can be of much help here; I really haven't been
following treesitter development very closely.  Having looked at the
patch, the fix is also slightly less trivial than I had hoped, in the
sense that I don't understand it.  :-)

That said, I do think that stability expectations might be a bit
different for a completely new and (arguably) semi-optional feature.
Yuan Fu's stated opinion up-thread was that the patch is "relatively
safe".

If it was up to me, I'd probably keep it on emacs-29, with a readiness
to revert if any issues were to crop up.  But I won't object either
way.
