I'm looking for ways to perform a managed planned failover in Aurora MySQL without any write downtime. I know the multi-master feature was deprecated, so I'm seeking suggestions or workarounds for this issue. Any tips?

You should look into the switch over feature with Aurora Global Database. It allows for minimal downtime during failover, claiming times under 30 seconds. However, just a heads up, there might still be some downtime for writes during the process.
Yeah, I've heard that while reads can be seamless, writes might still face some downtime. Best to prepare for that in your application.
