Having just started using bullseye, I must admit I'm already missing
the inverse-video aspect of bracketed paste when I go back to buster
(where I manually configured bracketed paste after seeing this thread).

However, I was already setting   XTerm*cutNewline: false, and I do
paste at point(emacs)/cursor position, and not where I pasteClick¹.
Whether you use these two options might influence how desirable
bracketed paste is in the first place. It's a matter of taste.

¹ Paste at point is obviously more beneficial when you paste as
  frequently by keyboard (Shift-Insert) as by mouse ("middle"
  button), the position of the mouse being indeterminate or even
  invisible with the keyboard paste.

Cheers,
David.
