AFAIK that's already what we do:

    (when eieio-backward-compatibility
      (let ((csym (intern (concat (symbol-name cname) "-list-p"))))
        (defalias csym
        [...]
        (make-obsolete csym (format
                             "use (cl-typep ... \\='(list-of %s)) instead"
                             cname)
                       "25.1")))
