The last time the firebird issue was brought to the ESC the outcome was
this commit[1] to keep the prompt to migrate, but set the default
button to "no" and add a link to 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/HowTo/MigrateFromHSQLDB

The suggestion in the title of the email is about putting firebird as
experimental, but is the problem solely (or overwhelmingly) that of the
migration process ? Would changing the migration to be experimental,
while leaving the default for new databases as firebird, work ?

something like restoring a use of
SvtMiscOptions::IsExperimentalMode around
