That's an awful lot of *binary* packages and I'm not even taking
downstream rdeps into account (eg. a consumer of libusb-1.0-0 assuming
that the latter was built with udev support).

Simply put, libudev isn't going away any time soon, so the current best
option is making sure that eudev works as a drop-in replacement.
