While the new dropdown component introduced with Dash version 4 may have some advantages, it is a significant regression in terms of usability for multi-selections with the keyboard.
With the previous dropdown component (pre-v4), one could simply type a few letters and hit tab to select an option and repeat without ever having to use the mouse (example in clip below). This is not possible with the new dropdown.

Describe the solution you'd like
Offer the old style dropdown as an alternative to the new one, e.g. dcc.DropdownV3 or something alike.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Pin dash to <4 (current solution).
