pyarrow/error.pxi defines have_signal_refcycle as a workaround for
https://bugs.python.org/issue42248:

arrow/python/pyarrow/error.pxi

Lines 191 to 194 in 976779b

# Whether we need a workaround for https://bugs.python.org/issue42248
have_signal_refcycle = (sys.version_info < (3, 8, 10) or
(3, 9) <= sys.version_info < (3, 9, 5) or
sys.version_info[:2] == (3, 10))

Since we require Python 3.11, this is always False, so the following is dead code and can be removed.

Found this when working on #55264.
