I don't think I would call do-release-upgrade a questionable script.
do-release-upgrade is the official Ubuntu method. From <
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/how-to-upgrade-your-release>:

    We recommend upgrading the system using the do-release-upgrade command
    on Server edition and cloud images. This command can handle system
    configuration changes that are sometimes needed between releases.

A simple sed 's/jammy/noble/g' won't perform the configuration changes that
may be needed.

(I had to cite the server wiki page because I can't find the desktop
version).
