Update:
I saved my BIOS settings and switched to the BIOS-generated default "optimized" settings.
I also copied the "efi" folder from the USB's WIN11 partition to its EFI partition.
Selecting USB P1 (the EFI partition) gets me a blue screen saying something about being unbootable and recovery.
Selecting USB P2 (The WIN11 partition) gets me a booted USB and a Windows installer.
Proceeded with diskpart approach to preparing the SSD for install, and got stuck at Finishing Up once again.
I'm unable to boot macOS with the BIOS-generated defaults, so I restored my BIOS profile. I need CSM Support Disabled, and Above 4G Decoding Enabled, at minimum. I also have Software Guard Extensions (SGX) Disabled, LEDs in System Power On State Disabled, Legacy USB Support Disabled, and Internal Graphics Disabled in my saved OC BIOS profile - the intent being to give macOS plenty of RAM.
The Windows USB seems happy to boot with either the BIOS defaults or the OC config I'm using.
