Rationale behind ScheduleMoveToWorld
#1
ScheduleMoveToWorld is currently broken and I am planning to fix this.

Why were the MoveToWorld API functions marked obsolete and why was ScheduleMoveToWorld introduced?

MoveToWorld originally operated synchronously - it would not return until the player was moved. And it was a big source of deadlocks because of trying to synchronize two tick threads and possibly other threads waiting for the plugin.

Is it safe to say that we can remove ScheduleMoveToWorld, now that MoveToWorld is not synchronous?

Usually when we remove a method that was exported in the LuaAPI, we still provide a manual binding for it that logs a warning that the method is obsoleted, what method should be used instead and a Lua stacktrace, then redirect to the new API. This way, the plugins still work and the plugin authors have a clear indication of what's wrong and how to fix it.
