On systems with Python 3.12+ and higher, for some reason (even with the EE encompassing its own version) the mirror-registry command fails at the last steps to wait for the host to be live, despite the actual service being up and usable.

This is caused to due to deprecations in parameters for Python3.12 + in the urllib3 or requests libraries, causing the timeout to wait 3 minutes because of a parameter failure and them timeouts, causing workflows depending on the success/zero exit code to fail as well.

It is imperative that the base images are updated, as I have tried this across 20+ automated VM installs with many different versions of the library, it seems that this is the only fix (upgrading to Ansible 2.16+.)
