I don't think we can remove it until #12879 is resolved

These are different issues. the deprecated config also does not support "request" batching.

See https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/13003/files#diff-45d09df1b12e28cfc26a0bc617f391a559334fed9a5df242fd179ad5e85fe3e0L141

Right, but the problem is that persistent storage can only work with requests sizer. Having the old batcher config allows us to use items for batcher and requests for persistent queue. If the old batch interface is removed, users won't be able to use the persistent queue with the batcher at all because there only one sizer can be configured for both.

But this is the current behavior, right? Maybe an error can be returned if the user tries to use that queue with a different sizer (until it is implemented).

No, currently users can configure persistent queue with the batcher using the old batcher config interface

Since this is "experimental" feature, still not sure we should block this... but for the moment, if in this version we don't have a solution for your problem @dmitryax I suggest we move forward.

Why do we need to remove this urgently? I think we should have a migration path without introducing regressions
