Is wpa3 possible with debian bullseye with Pi zero w2?
Just to clarify: No, Its not. Just tested myself.
As I understand it, someone is working on an upstream fix, but this is not yet done? Regardless, it will need to be backported to support 'external_auth' for WPA3 on our 6.6.x kernels. This backporting has not been done nor tested. I do not even know if the upstream is built or tested. The current/broken brcmfmac driver on 6.6.x appears to work with NetworkManager/wpa_supplicant. (At least it did with an earlier kernel, I have not tried it lately.) There are still some problems with it, but I have been able to negotiate a WPA3 connection with this setup. It will connect and pass data. I have not been able to with wpa_suppliocant alone, nor with connman and wpa_supplicant. There seems to be some failure of the driver where info is passed from wpa_s to the kernel and it does not accept it, but it seems to 'power thru' and will make a connection with NM/wpa_S.
Once the driver works properly with external_auth on our 6.6.x kernel with wpa_supplicant, I believe the development of iwd to support WPA3 can be started, but until the driver is fixed, I do not think that will start.

I bought a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and apparently it does not support my home wifi which uses WPA3.
I excepted that to be the case, since on Debian usually works just fine, and this device is a new release.
It should be at last officialy stated somewhere that is not supported. I basically bought something I can't use.
Notice that WPA3 is not anymore a theory, many commercial routers now ship with it in mixed mode or add that through firmware update.
Side note: actually run just fine on common operating systems from Windows to Android, including Linux if you have no firmware issues.
