I'll provide my 2c.

Hirsute (21.04) ISO is already released & development completed. Only security fixes are now being performed on the now stable 21.04 system, which does not include this issue (as this issue relates to the ISO itself, and re-spins are only done for LTS releases, ie. next ISO will likely be 20.04.3 or a respin of focal, then impish/21.10 though that's likely not a complete list)

If this issue matters, I'd test using the impish (21.10) ISO and report on the QA testing site, even filing a new bug (referencing back to this one yes, but start a new bug). Even if the report is marked duplicate of this, it'll increase heat & gain more detail/attention. This issue was reported only once on the QA-tracker for hirsute (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1922342) which indicates it wasn't a very important issue. Yes I may have included myself too, had the bug report been about speed, but it was "not booting" at the time, where my QA-test booted so I didn't link to this.

As for the new installer; the boot process occurs before the installer is started. Yes there is a `maybe-ubiquity` kernel parameter but the system is booted prior to ubiquity running.. so I'd suggest not waiting for the new installer, but test with `impish` now giving developers the most time possible to address if they're able.

If you look at testing done so far in 'impish' you'll note well more than 100 QA-tests have been performed (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers) so it's not too early.
