I can reproduce this issue with 5.10.191 and 6.1.52 and nftables v1.0.6,
this is not reproducible with v1.0.7 and v1.0.8.

Userspace nftables v1.0.6 generates incorrect bytecode that hits a new
kernel check that rejects adding rules to bound chains. The incorrect
bytecode adds the chain binding, attach it to the rule and it adds the
rules to the chain binding. I have cherry-picked these three patches
for nftables v1.0.6 userspace and your ruleset restores fine.
See patches enclosed to this email.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3,nft] rule: expand standalone chain that contains rules
[ upstream 27c753e4a8d4744f479345e3f5e34cafef751602 commit ]
Otherwise rules that this chain contains are ignored when expressed
using the following syntax:
chain inet filter input2 {
type filter hook input priority filter; policy accept;
ip saddr 1.2.3.4 tcp dport { 22, 443, 123 } drop
}
When expanding the chain, remove the rule so the new CMD_OBJ_CHAIN
case does not expand it again.
Closes: https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1655

Subject: [PATCH 3/3,nft] src: expand table command before evaluation
[ upstream 3975430b12d97c92cdf03753342f2269153d5624 commit ]
The nested syntax notation results in one single table command which
includes all other objects. This differs from the flat notation where
there is usually one command per object.
This patch adds a previous step to the evaluation phase to expand the
objects that are contained in the table into independent commands, so
both notations have similar representations.
Remove the code to evaluate the nested representation in the evaluation
phase since commands are independently evaluated after the expansion.
The commands are expanded after the set element collapse step, in case
that there is a long list of singleton element commands to be added to
the set, to shorten the command list iteration.
This approach also avoids interference with the object cache that is
populated in the evaluation, which might refer to objects coming in the
existing command list that is being processed.
There is still a post_expand phase to detach the elements from the set
which could be consolidated by updating the evaluation step to handle
the CMD_OBJ_SETELEMS command type.
This patch fixes 27c753e4a8d4 ("rule: expand standalone chain that
contains rules") which broke rule addition/insertion by index because
the expansion code after the evaluation messes up the cache.
Fixes: 27c753e4a8d4 ("rule: expand standalone chain that contains rules")
