Disable BlueToolFixup and AirportItlwm and then check. Also, run FirstAid on your Disk to make sure everything is good.

Also, correct your configuration

Disabling the kexts doesn't do anything. Still slow boot. FirstAid says everything is OK.

Remove the following

Already removed:
-HoRNDIS.kext
-JMB38X.kext
-JMicronATA.kext
-HSSDBlockStorage.kext

Wouldn't I lose WiFi and bluetooth functionality?:
-AirportItlwm.kext
-IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext
-BlueToolFixup.kext

It's needed for the touchpad to work:
-VoodooRMI.kext
-VoodooI2C.kext
-VoodooI2CHID.kext
-VoodooI2CSynaptics.kext

I need the brightness keys. Wouldn't removing this disable that?: BrightnessKeys.kext

Isn't this required for EC to work?: ECEnabler.kext

Probably removing, as it doesn't do anything (sidecar only worked in Big Sur): FeatureUnlock.kext

Yes, WiFi and BT. But here we're tracing what is causing boot delay. Once we determine the culprit, you can enable it later.

It's needed for the touchpad to work:
-VoodooRMI.kext
-VoodooI2C.kext
-VoodooI2CHID.kext
-VoodooI2CSynaptics.kext

For tracing, remove these

Yes, but for tracing you need to remove it

Isn't this required for EC to work?: ECEnabler.kext

Not really. It provides Battery meter function without patching the ACPI

Probably removing, as it doesn't do anything (sidecar only worked in Big Sur): FeatureUnlock.kext

Yes, but for tracing you need to remove it

I see. Is disabling from the config.plist enough?

No need to continue this post, a reinstall solved the problem.
