See the history of the other *.useBuiltin settings, where we migrated on a fairly fast schedule. I also see that use of stash.useBuiltin is still warning for a few releases now, that could be removed entirely while we're at it. See 9bcde4d5314 (rebase: remove transitory rebase.useBuiltin setting & env, 2021-03-23).
