I'd say yes. interfaceadmin membership is quite restricted (many wikis don't have any), and in majority of the wikis it's only granted by stewards on metawiki after a local vote. But that'd also limit the usefulness of the auto-approve, since it will only affect very few people. For instance enwiki has mere ~10 interface admins. Maybe expanding to sysop will be better.
This is still happening (including for non-auth emails), albeit at a slower rate. However, it's overwhelmingly failing with exit code 74 now.

There's a copy of the same code in Parsoid's Sanitizer.php class. The fix in core may need to be copied there, pending T247804.

Since the date is in the past now, you should reschedule.

The code assumes that the content is valid before actually running the validation.
The crash occurs in an external (core) lib during input preparation, before the validation logic runs. The validator itself will correctly handle this case and report that the z value must be of type x.

At the page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contact/Stewards, @Xaosflux observes that many users are clicking the send button multiple times ...
That's probably because of T383047

It also gives Vector 2022 links inconsistent visual state in some cases, e.g:
Vector 2022 intentionally doesn't want the redlink: T312157, so I believe this is not a bug and the task should be closed this as invalid.

It seems you found it. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/1237302. I left a comment there.
I can reproduce. The key is deleted by Vector legacy. I believe ruwiki still uses it as the default skin.
It took around 3 minutes
