These instancing features have been replaced by geometry nodes. They can be replaced by node groups added in modifiers by versioning code.

After a little research, I see that the task can be completed in several stages:

Versioning creating a modifier and turning off the instance function. There are no functional changes.
Delete the setting panel and her RNA API.
Start removing the entire code of the dupliobject using this. Here I will need to study what it is.
Finally, i can think about removing the settings from the structure of the object.
