That is really strange. If I did install Debian 12, it offered me a
list of different file systems, including ext2/3/4.

Does the installer format it as ext4, but shows ext2 and places that in
fstab?
Or do you format it manually?

LUKS is only a container and doesn't care about the file system inside.
After opening it, it is a file under /dev/mapper that can be formatted
like /dev/sdXY.
