I simply replaced the binaries in bin/armhf-linux with the binaries I
compiled myself.  There will not be binary updates between TL releases
except for Windows.  And if there are updates though, they will
certainly support GLIBC_2.28.  And if everything goes wrong it's
always possible to extract armhf-linux.tar.xz at any time again.
In this case it's not necessary to adapt PATHs, everything works as
usual.

I think that custom-bin is useful for platforms which are not
supported by TeX Live at all.  But in this particular case I don't
think that the effort isn't worthwhile.
