That function certainly should exist:

psql (14.6)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# \df tstzmultirange
                              List of functions
   Schema   |      Name      | Result data type | Argument data types  | Type
------------+----------------+------------------+----------------------+------
 pg_catalog | tstzmultirange | tstzmultirange   |                      | func
 pg_catalog | tstzmultirange | tstzmultirange   | VARIADIC tstzrange[] | func
 pg_catalog | tstzmultirange | tstzmultirange   | tstzrange            | func
(3 rows)

My guess is that your server is not in fact PG14, but some
older version.

                        regards, tom lane

My apologies as indeed was the case. Server is running 13.6 .... Will update the server and try it again.
