These three were ordinarily deprecated in JDK 18, then deprecated for 
removal in JDK 23.

I didn't check the numbers, the main thing with this JEP is that it 
contains the roadmap for removal for everything except the 3 instance 
methods that you listed at the end. It's important that developers 
maintaining libraries using Unsafe are looking at VarHandle and FFM APIs.
