Many years ago, systemd would go to emegency shell
if the swap was formatted during installation of another distro.
UUID of swap changed.
Maybe it still does?

That sounds like the correct choice.
Is it working?

Here's the pertinent part of /var/log/live-usb-maker.log: Looks like something was still in use? I rebooted but probably error on the old USB stick. The command completed successfully.
