Thanks, people.

(In reply to Ed Maste from comment #7)

On RELEASE, I edited freebsd-update to match the raw content of
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/20f0996700a8e60780931e7fde65899040465f4e/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/freebsd-update.sh>
(the most recent version on main).

Success: 


root@desktop:/usr/sbin # freebsd-version -kru ; uname -mvKU
14.3-RELEASE-p2
14.3-RELEASE-p2
14.3-RELEASE-p2
FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p2 releng/14.3-n271439-5982521fe3dd GENERIC amd64 1403000

freebsd-update is incompatible with the use of packaged base.  Please see
https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase for more information.
