I'm not a Home Assistant developer, but I have to say from my
understanding that this is simply untrue - the squeezebox.call_method
and squeezebox.call_query services are not being deprecated as part of
this change. You will still be able to use these services in scripts and
automations.

I've already changed my sync/unsync commands in my scripts and
automations to the new join/unjoin commands, and I have to say that this
is not my experience at all - synchronisation of players via Home
Assistant seems to be working just as it ever was. I don't know this for
sure, but my impression is that these new commands still call the same
procedures via the JSON-RPC API under the integration's hood. In any
case, you could always test this by sending a sync command via the
squeezebox.call_method service if you prefer.
