I think you can safely assume that all readers here know, that the snap exists and is updated in a timely manner.
The problem is that the deb that is in use on many many machines lacks behind so much and for so many years now, while users think they have a secure and up-to-date system.
I really don't understand why this is possible, while the need for up-to-date browsers is common sense. A mail client is just as exposed and security-critical as a browser.
The 115.x test build provided by Rico seems to be fine. So I don't see what's stopping you from pushing the update. If I miss something as a non-developer, please tell us whats the problem. In any case, thunderbird updates have to get faster...
/edit: Maybe like for Firefox SNAP is the long term solution to this but as long as the deb exists and is widely used it should not be neglected!
