Thanks for your report!

The noenc option, and subsequent deprecation notice on nodes, came in OpenSSL
3.0 but PostgreSQL still support OpenSSL 1.1.1.  nodes is still available in
the recent 3.5 version so sticking with it is the safe option for us (until we
deprecate 1.1.1 support, which is a fair bit into the future).
