I'm surprised that I have never seen anyone suggest simply installing the Ubuntu metapackages (which seems much simpler).

Because of wiki/UpstreamPackages.

And see also “upstream packages” increasingly becoming a problem on ROS Discourse.

We'd like to run Noetic on Jammy.

The official recommendation for this sort of scenario (ie: running ROS on an unsupported OS) would be to use Docker.

Unofficially, there is an effort ongoing to enable building Noetic on > Ubuntu 20.04: ros-o. This does not provide binary packages, so you'd have to build from source for now.
