    You have to run the command in the VAMT database.

    alter table base.GenuineStatusText alter column GenuineStatusText nvarchar(255) NULL

I'm starting to think not a single on-premise management/deployment tool has been updated for Windows 11 / WS 2022.
MDT is missing new OSes within "Install roles and features" step.
VAMT crashes (but I'm not sure if it has been updated since 2012 R2 tbh).
I need to check MECM for OSD/Bitlocker management features.

do not use VAMT from Windows Server Features, it should be uninstalled and installed via latest ADK. Upgrade is not possible, local or remote DB will be retained.
