I spoke with Apple Support earlier today who confirmed the problem. As a workaround, in addition to all the stated prerequisites, make sure that your designated contact candidate uses FaceTime or Messages.

Mac mini 2018 or later
Here are some steps that I took to get the feature to work:
1) Make sure that the recovery device (iPad in my case) has a passcode/password enabled
2) Make a FaceTime call between devices
3) Use Messages to send messages between devices
After I did this, I was able to set an account recovery contact for the Mac and also for the iPad
Hope this helps.

Adding an Account Recovery Contact for iCloud doesn't work as expected (on Monterey)
