@virtustom has tested that this bug has been fixed with the Jammy linux-gke kernel in -proposed. "I’ve just built an image with the proposed kernel and forced initramfs-less boot and run it against our basic-ubuntu test suite and it now passes all of the tests, meaning the image successfully boots without initramfs on the machine with nvme storage."

The ARM64 CPU platform on GCE, Ampere Altra, only supports the NVMe storage interface, meaning we cannot boot arm64 images without initramfs. The initramfs is used only to load the nvme driver module. [Fix] Set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y and CONFIG_NVME_CORE=y for arm64. [Test] Check that nvme is built-in, e.g., grep nvme.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.builtin [Where problems could occur] Unlikely to have any issues apart from an increased arm64 kernel image size.
