I would have not started this topic if there weren’t many cases before where salt changes rendered Qubes updates non-functional.
So please please please with sugar on top, if you are a maintainer, consider these (looming) changes in salt:

/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/salt/utils/psutil_compat.py:16:
DeprecationWarning: Please stop importing 'salt.utils.psutil_compat' and instead import 'psutil'
directly as there's no longer a need for a compatability layer. The 'salt.utils.psutil_compat' will
go away on Salt 3008.0 (Argon).
Thanks.
