The slowdown becomes slightly better, but nowhere close to Emacs 28:

;; Emacs 29
;; Elapsed time: 16.953404s
;; Emacs 29 + clean-mode
;; Elapsed time: 13.290568s
;; Emacs 28
;; Elapsed time: 0.869748s

I did

(setq yant/re "\\(?:\\(?:\\<DEADLINE: *\\(\\(?:<\\(?:[[:digit:]]\\{4\\}-[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}-[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}\\(?: [[:alpha:]]+\\)?\\)\\(?: [[:digit:]]\\{1,2\\}:[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}\\(?:-[[:digit:]]\\{1,2\\}:[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}\\)?\\)?\\(?:\\(?: [+.:-]\\{1,2\\}[[:digit:]]+[dhmwy]\\(?:/[[:digit:]]+[dhmwy]\\)?\\)\\{1,2\\}\\)?>\\)\\)\\)\\|\\(?:\\(?:<\\(?:[[:digit:]]\\{4\\}-[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}-[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}\\(?: [[:alpha:]]+\\)?\\)\\(?: [[:digit:]]\\{1,2\\}:[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}\\(?:-[[:digit:]]\\{1,2\\}:[[:digit:]]\\{2\\}\\)?\\)?\\(?:\\(?: [+.:-]\\{1,2\\}[[:digit:]]+[dhmwy]\\(?:/[[:digit:]]+[dhmwy]\\)?\\)\\{1,2\\}\\)?>\\)\\|^\\*+[[:blank:]]+\\(?:[[:upper:]]+[[:blank:]]+\\)?\\[#A]\\|^[[:space:]]*:STYLE:[[:space:]]+habit[[:space:]]*$\\)\\)")
