no, this would be backwards. The goal should be the demotion of pcre3. These are the reverse depends of pcre3 in main:
aide apache2 apr-util clamav exim4 freeradius git glib2.0 grep haproxy libpam-mount libselinux nginx nmap php7.2 postfix python-pyscss quagga rasqal slang2 sssd wget zsh
What we need is an analysis which packages already can be built with pcre2, and which ones require some porting work. I opened now LP: #1792544 to track this analysis.
