Thank you both and I agree to close this in favor of ARROW-8324.
Perhaps after adding *_ipc_file functions, the various documents need to be updated to recommend the use of *_ipc_file functions.

>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: R
>    Affects Versions: 8.0.0
>            Reporter: SHIMA Tatsuya
>            Priority: Major

> As noted in the following document, the recommended extension for IPC files is now `.arrow`.
> > We recommend the “.arrow” extension for files created with this format.
> https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-file-format
> However, the R library cannot read IPC files without using the `read_feather` function after ARROW-16268.
> I think users will be confused if you keep using this function name because the word `feather' is not associated with `.arrow` for beginners.
> For example, could we deprecate function `read_feather` and recommend another function like `read_ipc_file`, which has the same functionality?
> Note: This ticket was created as a result of a conversation with [~kou] on Twitter.
