I can only second your opinion about the the quality of the ISOs, but
two years ago I had some luck with 2018.10, which was the first after
151a9 that actually booted a newer system. Maybe you try that, it's
sufficient for the job (if the rpool does not have activated the most
recent feature flags...)
