Sure.

We use Browsershot (https://github.com/spatie/browsershot), which in turn uses Puppeteer (https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer/) to use chromium-browser in headless mode to generate PDF's from HTML.
Without libx11-xcb1, chromium-browser never completes, which causes all processes to just hang indefinitely until the system is starved from resources.

Isn't removing dependencies in an LTS release a breaking change regardless?
