The biggest problem is having this working (and claim as supported)
amongst the huge number of compilers and platforms that PCRE2 runs on.
That's not an easy task.

I guess it's better to ask users to use read/write locking around
matching and jit compiling. Or we could think of adding back APIs like
pcre_study -- having the jit data returned as a separate piece of
information...
