using dynamic_entity_reference brings in triggers and uninstalling does not get rid of them

Problem/Motivation

Started when I got this error restoring a dump file of a linkchecker enabled site:
ERROR 1227 (42000) at line 2928: Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation

line 2928 of my dump file has this:
/*!50003 CREATE*/ /*!50017 DEFINER="myclientnameqa"@"localhost"*/ /*!50003 TRIGGER linkchecker_link_der_insert BEFORE insert ON linkchecker_link FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.entity_id__target_id_int = IF(NEW.entity_id__target_id REGEXP '^[0-9]+$', CAST(NEW.entity_id__target_id AS UNSIGNED), NULL) */;;

In order to load the database without a permissions error I had to remove this line and one other similar line.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Since I installed linkchecker I get problems reloading database dumps.
linkchecker requires dynamic_entity_reference , this adds database triggers which require elevated privileges to restore from a dump file
Uninstalling linkchecker and dynamic_entity_reference does not solve the problem because one of these modules doesn't clean up after it'self.

Steps to reproduce

Install linkchecker using the following patches and linkchecker version: 8.x-1.0-alpha1 :

            "drupal/linkchecker": {
                "Extraction status":
                "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2020-12-08/3184613-extraction-status.patch",
                "Broken links view should not show status code -1":
                "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2020-12-17/3118914-4.patch",
                "Update empty value for last_check field on broken links report":
                "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2020-12-25/3112537-12.patch",
                "Auto-select extractor if there is only one available":
                "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2020-12-18/3133925-2.patch",
                "Undefined offset error":
                "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2020-08-24/undefined-offset-error-3065045-13.patch"
            },

Then use linkchecker to scan your site for links, dump your db and restore this dump to another database.

Proposed resolution

Remove dependency on dynamic_entity_reference?
