In the latest GB 18030-2022, 9 of the 21 mandated compatibility ideographs are removed leaving the 12 official "compatibility" but unified ideographs. Between these 9 codepoints, 2 required specially made CN glyphs. These can be removed in later versions of Source Han (including Source Han Serif) following the removal in GB 18030-2022.

And I'm cross-posting the maintainer's latest reply here:

We are not removing the glyphs or any encodings.

So this implies that the removal of the CN compatibility ideographs may not happen. However, the issue over at Noto CJK does not mention the two ideographs in this thread, so making the JP glyphs for those two the only glyph for all regions is still possible while maintaining backwards compatibility with Unicode and previous versions of GB 18030.
