I guess you are aware, that you can install the latest MacOS Ventura on your device using OpenCore Legacy Patcher (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html)? It worked fine for me.

I did so some time ago with an even older iMac 27“ (2009 or 2010)  using the Server install media. It worked fine. 

What install media did you try? 

I’ve an iMac 27“ 2012 and 2013 around waiting to be reused with Fedora. Hopefully I can manage to try this weekend.
