Generally keeping backwards compatibility becomes more relevant when either:

1. the library is already stable and well-established
2. some addition can be easily #ifdef'd or so with version guards.

At this point the lack of this bump is failing compilation on my
Fedora 37 system as it currently still packages libjxl version 0.7.0,
so as it seems like libjxl is still in the process of adding basic
APIs, I'd maybe edge on the side of just bumping the requirement, even
if the bit depth feature itself isn't that critical and could in
theory be ifdef'd around (if libjxl even has useful defines for such
checks).
