I could not reproduce this manually. I tried updating IPXE kernel, both in my local (outdated) setup and in my local openqa setup, it did the same (failed in openqa, succeeded in virt-manager). According to logs, the kernel oops happens right after detecting IBFT, so my guess would be that this is the faulty module. However, it works in my manual setup, with same IPXE and linux kernels. So that seem to exclude a faulty IBFT module or IPXE kernel.
Next step will be to see what virtual hardware differs between my local VM and openqa's setup, as it seems likely that some module is failing.
Regarding "(1) we could try the following to identify what is broken" there are too many modules loaded at startup, I don't think that's a viable workflow to try excluding them one by one.
I updated https://gitlab.suse.de/qsf-y/qa-sle-functional-y/-/blob/master/Manual_Testing_Guide.md#IBFT with steps to setup a local IBFT environment, in case someone wants to take over.

Note: broken since 43.1, still works in 39.1.

In the meantime I could reproduce it manually using the setup described here https://gitlab.suse.de/qsf-y/qa-sle-functional-y/-/blob/master/Manual_Testing_Guide.md#ibft. It did not help me find anything new, but will be useful if we need to provide more info on request.
