Reason to drop it is its breaking when building for bookworm with its
debhelper version 13.11.4.

If it wasn't because of debhelper, this could even be a legitimate change. Still I'd expect to include this reason in debian/changelog (which is something different than describing what I can see also in the debdiff output).

Now this same thing works fine if I pin the debhelper to
bookwrom-backports version or the version in unstable. I'm not exactly
sure what went in between these to cause such breakage.
If the debhelper version available in bookworm is not recent enough to build successfully, you should express this with a properly versioned dependency (already in unstable/testing).
If you think depending on bookworm-backports debhelper is right way I
can do that.. Let me know.

Yes, for debhelper we generally prefer to use a more recent version from bookworm-backports over changing anything else.

For other build dependencies this is more a judgement call. In general, please feel free to ask for guidance on the mailing list in advance in case you need help with such a judgement call. We're happy to help.

Kind regards,
Micha
