Got something. Not sure something useful, but at least a change.
As getting a second machine with serial port will take me some days, in the document pointed above just following the BOOT_DEBUG parameter I found the log_host option to send the output to a remote syslog, and that was easier to test.
So stopped grub and added those parameters. The command line was:
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-27-amd64 root=UUID=b14ddcd2-183c-4335-ac29-2992b3b3de74 ro initrd=/install/initrd.gz BOOT_DEBUG=2 log_host=192.168.1.231
Now, the remote syslog didnt receive anything at all, but after tens of tests all of them crashing at the "Time spent on flushing" line (line num 926 in my journal file) this time, for the first time in weeks, it got to the login screen. Auto-populated with the user I set when installed it, and waiting the password. I entered the password and boom, the reboot is back. This time the journal contains 1554 lines, so some progress. Why the new command line parameters helped to get further is a mystery to me.
In case it is relevant, this is that segment from the journal, with the first lines after the last one I was able to get before.
