Online information on all three libraries are quite scarce. Are we sure that autodeps breaks existing soname deps?

No, but dropping the existing libdepends and libprovides support. Quote from the original mail that was sent to the staff-only list:

Many our packages rely on libdepends and libprovides, and if makepkg would not fill the soname version and architecture, those dependencies would be broken.

Also this mail from 2023 makes it sound like like that (although I'm not sure whether it is still true today): https://lists.archlinux.org/hyperkitty/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux....
