Actually, it turns out that this plan don't work.

At step 13, the server-installer won't let me create a filesystem on the
existing luks partitions. Instead, it tries to mount them using file system
type crypt_LUKS.

This has been a no-brainer for many years. And 22.04 has made it impossible to
do.
