KB-000044555 - What about Uninstall, then macOS Upgrade, then Install

The article about macOS Ventura upgrade issues does not clearly enough discuss whether a non-upgraded Mac can have Sophos uninstalled first, then be upgraded to Ventura, then have Sophos installed.

It mentions uninstall / reinstall does not fix the issue, but this is in the context of a Mac that has already been upgraded. (Or so it appears from my reading.) -- Has testing of the alternative method mentioned above been done? Can information clarifying that possibility be added to the article? Thanks if so.
