Yes, that should be working, and does work in my tests.

Which version of qemu is this? I guess no other option than this?

I.e. the second boot option? (the 64bit variant)

So just pressing enter to select everything by default? (except the
"Install" boot option)

So you mean while loading installer components?
I'm not getting such a problem (and 1024M is really plently to just load
components, it's partman that needs quite more, notably with crypto
enabled).
At worse, note from
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye//amd64/ch02s05.en.html
that you can force higher lowmem options, but 1024M should really be way
enough.
