FWIIW, @paul.bunyan’s blocker fileset works on macOS Ventura (I tested it with Ventura beta, so had to rename the installer application, of course).
Paul’s description and fileset are found here in Slack's MacAdmin workspace (FileWave channel)

if using paul’s fileset, the user will see this error message after download (see attached).

Of course, FileWave has KBs on blocking macOS installer applications as well.

FYI, this process only blocks the Ventura app, so it only provides one layer of protection.

Unfortunately, it does nothing to prevent Apple from publishing Ventura as a delta upgrade, since that upgrade is not an app.
