What should be the expected behavior?

Aikup results in a working aiken:

Is anyone else seeing this? (or have they seen this?)

OpenSSL 1.1.1 can be configured next to OpenSSL 3.0.x in Ubuntu: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73603200 this seems to resolve the issue.

The github workflow should be updated to build a version on top of Ubuntu 22.04 which will build against libssl3. Then, aikup should choose the correct binary based on the user's operating system level.
