Is Ventura supported by USBToolBox? Any known issues?

I have not upgraded yet, but I received the following comment in my USBToolBox guide thread:

USBtoolbox creating timeout issues in Ventura. Kexts needs an update from the developers.

Can you confirm this issue?

I would just like to make sure that USBToolBox still works before upgrading to Ventura

As far as I know it works fine, it works for me and other people I've asked also said it works fine. There's an open issue about stalls but I need more information to be able to track the issue down, currently I'm not confident it's USBToolBox's fault and not a configuration issue

I do not get USBToolBox.kext or the UTBMap.kext loaded. They are just missing

No matter what I do – the pathes in config.plist are correct for sure.

Check the OC log for any injection errors (please upload it), and please upload the log files generated by these commands (preferably right after a fresh boot):

log show --last boot --predicate 'process == "kernel"' | grep -i USBToolBox > ~/Desktop/UTB_oslog.txt
sudo dmesg | grep -i USBToolBox > ~/Desktop/UTB_dmesg.txt

I saw another issue with Ventura reported here:

"... trying to do a fresh installation of Ventura. I followed the guide but when I try to boot from the USB, I'm still getting:

AppleUSBXHCI::createPorts: ports limit reached. Not creating the remaining 11 ports  
AppleUSBHostPort::createDevice: failed to create device (0xe00002bc)

Then it hangs at a scrambled image and a stop sign. For trouble shooting, I copied the whole EFI folder to my current Big Sur installation, and it booted fine. I used kextstat -l to check loaded kexts and USBToolBox was loaded."
