After update to ESPHome 2022.12.8: template sensors not report values to HA anymore

The problem

I upgraded to ESPHome 2022.12.8 (and likely the same happened already with the update to 2022.12.6 just before) and both, my gas counter and my electricity counter are not recorded in HA anymore. I updated both devices several times by now, power cycled the ESPHome devices with no charge. When checking the logs from ESPHome the counter works just fine, in the case of my gas counter I have to sensors and can see them both working (a binary sensor and an increasing counter). BUT the increasing sensor for the gas does not show any state history in the history overview (nor do the values show up anywhere else. I deleted the devices from the integration and included them again - no change. reconnected the ESPHome sensor to a utility helper in HA - no change.

It somehow seems that the template sensor does not get reported from ESPHome to HA.

YAML below is an example, the other boards are principally the same.

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

no error messages shown on ESPhome logs, not in HA logs
