As ippusbxd by itself is broken, meaning that it even does not work very well with the devices it is actually designed for, I am also in favor of removing it from all still supported Ubuntu versions (especially LTS). Then it does not block devices which could otherwise work better.

To the users whose device needed ippusbxd we should tell to install the ipp-usb Snap then, at it does the task of supporting IPP-over-USB devices correctly and to their full extent.
