I find myself a bit reluctant to update libxml2 to 2.14.x at this
moment even in experimental since we are not going to release trixie
with that version. There's still plenty of time before actually
kicking off some sort of transition. How do you think about using
libxml2.14 for the newer version at the moment to facilitate test
builds?

However, this does not mean I'm strongly against the proposed approach
but rather discussing for which is the better way.
