Comment (by westonruter):

 @poena yes, for themes introduced prior to 5.7, the necessary functions
 can shimmed by copying them from core into the themes' `functions.php`
 files. For example, Twenty Twenty has the following:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( ! function_exists( 'wp_body_open' ) ) {

         /**
          * Shim for wp_body_open, ensuring backward compatibility with
 versions of WordPress older than 5.2.
          *
          * @since Twenty Twenty 1.0
          */
         function wp_body_open() {
                 /**
                  * Triggered after the opening <body> tag.
                  *
                  * @since Twenty Twenty 1.0
                  */
                 do_action( 'wp_body_open' );
         }
 }
 }}}

 Similarly, Twenty Twelve does the following:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( ! function_exists( 'wp_get_list_item_separator' ) ) :
         /**
          * Retrieves the list item separator based on the locale.
          *
          * Added for backward compatibility to support pre-6.0.0 WordPress
 versions.
          *
          * @since 6.0.0
          */
         function wp_get_list_item_separator() {
                 /* translators: Used between list items, there is a space
 after the comma. */
                 return __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' );
         }
 endif;
 }}}
