etex is not depreceated. it is held of for those situations where you really need it.

And in that case it should be loaded before the documentclass.


>From documentation to elocalloc:

For existing documents etex may still be loaded and will work as before, however in general it is best not to load etex as it will over-write the new allocation scheme with its own.


So, indeed it is not deprecated but warned

Loading etex before documentclass can blow up

\RequirePackage{etex}
\documentclass[12pt,oneside,openany]{memoir}
\reserveinserts{10}
\usepackage{bigfoot}
\usepackage{hyperxmp}
\begin{document}
Hello World

\end{document}


As far as minimal example for "dimension too large" I will try to produce it but it may take pretty long time
