Details follow. vips is currently at position #24 in the rapidly clearing arm Needs-Build queue.

There's also no reason *not* to request immediate removal of vips7.10 from sid, AFAICT; you've made it clear that this package is no longer needed or desired in unstable except on arm due to a missing build, and removing it from unstable has no adverse effect on testing.
