I'm more concerned about running behind with security updates but I've read the relevant CVEs and it's probably ok to wait until 22.04.0 for now. I'll keep an eye out and update to a snapshot, if this changes.

You have one last option, which is building 22.03.3 from source for your device if you accept the switch problem.
That will work and provide you with the latest security updates.
What was disabled was only the image generation by the buildbots.
