I didn't see an obvious clue as to why it didn't continue ...

How about in /var/log/kern.log.1 (f.e.) ? Because on my system the very first 
message of a boot in that file begins with:
[    0.000000] Linux version 5.16.0-3-amd64 ...

So far, *I* haven't found a direct clue as to why things fail, so if you do 
have _a_ log of a boot with the 5.16 kernel, then having that could help.
Especially if you could provide a similar log of a boot with the 5.15 kernel. 
Doesn't need to be the whole log, but knowing a couple of lines which happen 
thereafter on 5.15 but not on 5.16 could provide a clue.

I saw that the 5.16.11-1 kernel transitioned to testing and it is useful to 
know if the issue is still present with that version.
In the upstream kernel in drivers/gpu/drm/amd I saw a number of commits since 
version 5.16.7 (and also several other commits which are part of 5.16.12 which 
is present in salsa, but not yet released).

When I look at the photo from https://bugs.debian.org/1006149#44 (from Axel), 
I do notice an important difference:
He has various [drm] messages, whereas I see none of those with you.
Do you have [drm] messages when booting with the 5.15 kernel?

That bug message also has the following which is different from yours:
ii  firmware-amd-graphics     20210818-1
...
ii  firmware-linux-nonfree    20210818-1
ii  firmware-misc-nonfree     20210818-1

So it would be interesting to know whether installing any of those packages 
makes a difference. I'd suggest first installing the firmware-amd-graphics 
package.

HTH,
  Diederik
