Indeed, on my system (I use a customised German layout, attached)
console-setup.service fails, even though the layout works under X.org:
$ systemctl status console-setup.service
× console-setup.service - Set console font and keymap

The interesting bit is
$ grep sharp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de2
key <AC02> { [ s, S, ssharp, Ssharp ] };
i.e. M-s -> ß and M-S -> ẞ, which correspond as expected to
$ ą
ß (U+00DF, UTF-8 c3 9f ): LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S
ẞ (U+1E9E, UTF-8 e1 ba 9e ): LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S
So Ssharp definitely exists but isn't in <X11/keysymdef.h>:
$ grep -i sharp /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h
#define XK_ssharp 0x00df /* U+00DF LATIN SMALL LETTER
SHARP S */
#define XK_musicalsharp 0x0af5 /* U+266F MUSIC SHARP SIGN */
or, indeed, anywhere?
$ grep -ri ssharp /usr/include/
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdkkeysyms-compat.h:#define GDK_ssharp 0x0df
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdkkeysyms.h:#define GDK_KEY_ssharp 0x0df
/usr/include/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h:#define XKB_KEY_ssharp
0x00df /* U+00DF LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S */
/usr/include/gtk-4.0/gdk/gdkkeysyms.h:#define GDK_KEY_ssharp 0x0df
/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h:#define XK_ssharp 0x00df
/* U+00DF LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S */
xev says
KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x7800001,
root 0x6c6, subw 0x0, time 59127073, (215,-26), root:(966,406),
state 0x2080, keycode 39 (keysym 0xdf, ssharp), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 28
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 9f) "ß"
XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 9f) "ß"
XFilterEvent returns: False

XFilterEvent returns: False
So whatever the source of truth w.r.t. keys xinput-or-whatever uses,
console-setup probably needs to use as well, or not error after warnings.
