To come back to this issue: I ended up retiring all packages for the Pantheon desktop and elementary applications from Fedora 37. This turned out to have been the right move, since Pantheon desktop components and some apps are still not compatible with libraries from GNOME 43 (mutter 43 / evolution-data-server 3.45+ / libsoup3 / etc), and we're already in the Final Freeze now - so getting things fixed in time for Fedora 37 would have been extremely unlikely.
