The sg module with the latest kernel version It's not gone, it remains :-)

$ uname -r
6.7.2-arch1-2
$ lsmod | grep sg
sg                     49152  0
$ modinfo sg
filename:       /lib/modules/6.7.2-arch1-2/kernel/drivers/scsi/sg.ko.zst

Although I believe it is necessary for a SCSI dvd driver, you can mount an
ISO file without the sg module.

$ lsmod | grep sg
sg                     49152  0
$ sudo modprobe -r sg
$ lsmod | grep sg
$ sudo mount ~/download/iso/archlinux/archlinux-2024.01.01-x86_64.iso /mnt/
mount: /mnt: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.

Hope it helps.

Best,
M.
