Deployment of empty war with 2.3 faces-config.xml fails

Attached sample is created from the archetype "wildfly-jakartaee-webapp-archetype" found at https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-archetypes/ (still 18.0, an update for WildFly 19.0 is currently in work). It is an empty project, the only change is that in "faces-config.xml" the version was changed from 2.2 to 2.3.

Deployment fails with this exception:

When adding an empty "beans.xml" file or any CDI annotated class, the error disappears.
It also works when declaring JSF version 2.2.
