That change was in fact a bug fix. Percent repeats didn't correctly
scale with the staff size, but now they do.

You can always resize the symbols manually with

\version "2.24.2"

shrink =
\propertyTweak stencil
  #(grob-transformer 'stencil (lambda (grob orig) (ly:stencil-scale orig 0.7
0.7)))
  \etc


\layout {
  \context {  
    \Staff
    \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #1.5
    \shrink DoubleRepeatSlash
    \shrink RepeatSlash
  } 
}

\score {
  \relative c' {
    \repeat percent 2 {c8 d16 e }
    \repeat percent 2 {c8 d }
    \repeat percent 2 {c2 d4 e }
  }
}



May I ask why you want them that way, though?

Generally speaking, why don't you just use #(set-global-staff-size xxx) ?
It will also properly scale the clefs, time signatures, etc. For me,
a score with a "C" time signature that doesn't occupy the full extent
between the second and the fourth staff lines looks quite weird.
