We need FreeType >= 2.9.1 in some places in Pillow 10.4.0.
FreeType 2.9.1 was released on 2018-05-02.
FreeType 2.10.4 fixes a severe vulnerability: "All users should update immediately".
If deprecated in Pillow 11.0.0 (2024-10), it can be removed in Pillow 12.0.0 (2025-10).

All of these are newer than 2.9.1.
For reference, we deprecated support for FreeType 2.7 in Pillow 8.1.0 (issue #5075, PR #5098), and removed it in 9.0.0 (#5777).
