I use the last free version of Comodo Internet Security that supported XP, it seems Comodo scrubbed the download links, if I can find the installer I'll post it here.

You can use the Optional Patch Integrator Script included with Integral Edition on a standard Ukrainian/Russian XP ISO to integrate the drivers you need.
note: Remember to replace the out of date patched acpi.sys in \Integrator Files\Patches\ACPI drivers with a newer one built from source code.
I think the OP was expecting Windows Server 2022 to be just like the regular desktop Windows with some additional server features thrown in on top of it, and ended up being surprised when it wasn't like that.
It's weird that explorer is crashing though, that shouldn't be happening.
@Dave-H
No, Integral Edition has not been updated since then, you have the latest.
Make sure to replace the acpi.sys with the new compiled before running the optional patch integrator on the ISO.
@Dave-H
Integral Edition could give you a smoother installation experience if you're installing XP from scratch (although it's good that you're testing @George King's XP2ESD too)
Just make sure to swap out the older acpi.sys in Integrator Files\Patches\ACPI drivers with the newer compiled one before running the optional patch integrator script.
@Just_AHD
I can't say for sure, I've never used SP4.
As a personal preference I like to use XP Integral Edition, it has all the POSReady July 2019 updates integrated already. Everything I want to use XP for seems to work well for me using that.
@Dietmar
can you test this to see if swapping windows7 ndis/netio/msrpc.sys on working XP install works for standard XP NDIS5 drivers? or does it fail?
@George King
That gets rid of the 0xDEADBEEF BSODs from ntoskrnl version mismatch - I got rid of it out of habit since I'd tried porting to windows 2000 earlier.
@George King
I did an implementation of IoSynchronousCallDriver in x86 assembly, so no x64.
see if it works or not.

@Dietmar
It's not the same error at least.
I'm going to implement MmAllocatePagesForMdlEx, KeFreeCalloutStack, KeAllocateCalloutStack, and KeTestSpinLock next with a precompiled objects.
@Dietmar
these files I modded earlier should still be good to use - https://ufile.io/5cxo9w60
can this windows 7 ndis.sys still work with NDIS5 drivers?
@Dietmar @George King @Mov AX, 0xDEAD
I've gotten a KISystemservice implementation building with a precompiled object.
I'll upload what I have in a bit, hopefully that'll help with the msrpc.sys BSOD.
