Hi @lxtx, thanks for the report, but deprecations are nothing to be concerned about. Everything will still work as it should when WP_DEBUG is turned off (as it should be on live websites).

Also see this blogpost: ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/01/10/wordpress-5-9-and-php-8-0-8-1/

The update of the Requests library is already being tracked in #54504, so I'm closing this issue as a duplicate.
