So what should I use instead? 0e5a7faa which introduced it doesn't say.

You should say nothing.  "git reset [<commit>] <path>" is about resetting
the index entry selectively, and there is no room for any mode to be
involved (iow "git reset --soft t/Makefile" does not make any sense),
hence deprecation.
