@Addle - Unter BigSur you may still use Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as TM files system. No problems then. On Monterey, you unfortunately might no longer add a non AFPS case-sensitive (adding a pre-formatted HFS+ disk to the list of TM disks, Monterey forces it into a APFS case-sensitive, independent if you check "Encrypted" or not.
PS, FYC, @Apple: there are many file system/Finder issues in Monterey. Even Quick View does not work as expected (e.g. chapters in MOVs not shown).
