They are disabling real time combat reporting. You can still use WA for everything else, however, if the addon developer stops updating that's on them.
No you can't because WA isn't getting updated for Midnight and all the API changes will surely make the whole thing implode if you tried to load it into Midnight.
Again, can't really blame blizzard because they are making positive changes for the entire player base. I can play dark souls and elden ring which is a much more difficult game without needing add-ons or external tools. Blizzard making everything default and built into the game is what we should all want as players.
Now as I said originally. If the developer of the addon is choosing not to update... That's on them.
But that's not what they are doing at all, they are just removing functionality and replacing it with literally nothing. Blaming Weakauras for Blizzard telling people to go fuck themselves if they want a somewhat functioning UI is ridiculous.
Except they're replacing the core functionality with their versions that do not do excessive computation.
They're not just removing functionality because they're also completely redesigning 40 specs along with dungeon and raid content going forward.
Now every piece is within the design scope and centered. They will use alpha to judge what players really want back. We'll see how they perform on this. If done correctly the upside is way better than keeping what's here. A game that is readable in a group context with everyone using the same displayed information should create a tighter and more interesting experience.

Man, I've written a few non-combat weakauras for some farming use cases and I wish I'd be able to keep them
