This was recently updated via https://github.com/TYPO3-Documentation/TYPO3CMS-Reference-CoreApi/pull/896

The original deprecation message in the code said:

Calling BackendUserAuthentication->modAccess() with a second argument is deprecated, as the default behaviour is throwing exceptions, which might get customized in TYPO3 v10.0. Remove the second argument within modAccess() to avoid the deprecation, and ensure to catch the Exception in the callers code.

Does that make it clear for you how to resolve the docs?

Thank you, yes that is much clearer.

I think for the main docs, I have all I need.

Maybe someone else can decide if the changelog should be updated and also the phpdoc header for the function. IMHO the changelog is misleading: https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/master/en-us/Changelog/9.5/Deprecation-86441-VariousMethodsAndPropertiesInsideBackendUserAuthentication.html

The second argument of method modAccess() has been marked as deprecated, as the method should not trigger runtime exceptions anymore.

For the time being I would say that this information is obsolete, since v10 is our current stable. New projects are using v10 and therefore this intermediate description of v9 is pointless now, you have to deal with the v10 behaviour.
