I don't think this will be possible for bookworm. libgccjit0 is dynamically linked to the emacs binaries, so a completely new flavour of emacs (analogous to emacs-nox) would be needed. It is too late in the development cycle to introduce such a thing, even if there was concensus that doing so was worth the effort.
