wfGetMessageCacheStorage is only used to initialize $messageMemc. wfGetMessageCacheStorage states that it retrieves the cache used by the MessageCache, which is available as a service instead. That should be the recommended replacement.
Codesearch indicates the only usage to be $messageMemc, which is to be deprecated in T243175: Deprecate and remove $messageMemc.

It was only recently moved to ServiceWiring. The function should be considered "internal" in my opinion and should have been removed as part of 752e7dd707a9.
Feel free to remove anytime. It doesn't need to wait for messageMemc as the definition can easily be inlined until then.
