If we merged this, many users cannot use our library and are forced to upgrade to a newer siunitx version as described in my comment here. At least, things don't look so badly anymore for Ubuntu 24 (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, codename noble) where sudo apt texlive-science comes shipped with siunitx version 2024-01-25 v3.3.10.

Please also take note of my comment here.

In my opinion, we should just go full-in on siunitx and assume users to have one of the newer versions available, e.g. siunitx version 3.1.0 with built-in multi-uncertainty support. If they don't have this version of siunitx available yet, we provide the siunitx_fallback flag for them to fall back to our more "hacky" approach (*), but advise them to use LaTeX without a package manager in a custom install (which probably only the minority of users will do, as I suspect most Linux users to install LaTeX through the package repository, e.g. sudo apt texlive-science.

(*) see our LatexStringifier that basically only relies on the \unit{} command by siunitx.
