It is a deliberate choice to not support other bluetooth implementations
than gnome-bluetooth for the UI and obexd-{client,server} for the
backends. Getting bluetooth to work is hard enough, we don’t need to
support any possible combination for the bluetooth stack.

The correct solution for your needs is probably to fix blueman so that
it works with the newer obexd-server, rather than obex-data-server which
is being deprecated.
