Closing, the bug is not reachable on this branch.

velero has been pinned at chart 11.0.0 / appVersion 1.17.0 continuously across v1.4.0, v1.4.4, v1.5.0, v1.5.3 and release-1.5 head. The status.phase: Unsupported value: "Queued" failure needs velero 1.18.1, which is only on main and release-1.6, and there is no velero version change anywhere in the 1.4 to 1.5 range. So no 1.5.x cluster can hit it.

Meanwhile upgradeCRDs: CreateReplace would replace velero CRDs on every future 1.5.x upgrade on a branch where those CRDs have never needed to change. Preventive hardening with no defect behind it, and it is not free.

It stays correct and wanted on the 1.6 line, #3728 covers it there.
