Description
In Bioconductor, packages are tested against first-order dependents. We should consider doing this, as done for scverse packages depending on AnnData: https://github.com/scverse/integration-testing/actions/runs/18115461787.
In this way we can flag installation incompatibilities early, and have an incentive to move to slimmer requirements over time.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue's Bioconductor comparison and the referenced scverse integration-testing action run. Define which first-order dependents should be installed and tested, then consider the work complete when incompatibilities are detected early through an automated installation test.
