Workaround for what? ISTR you had fixed your broken GPT on your ASUS ProArt laptop's internal disk and successfully created a zpool for OI on that partition. I recommend you install OI on it via the "F5_InstallToExistingPool" option. <URL:https://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/getting-started/#install-openindiana-to-existing-zfs-pool> After installation, add a swap zvol before you attempt to pkg(1) update. >Say I install OI on an external SSD using the install in whole disk (GPT) >option.

You might test in a VM on top of your Fedora before breaking your laptop again. You can also use beadm(8) to create a BE on the internal disk zpool and then use zfs send/receive to obtain any other datasets from your external disk before you boot to the internal OI BE. <URL:https://illumos.org/man/8/beadm> This definitely works: Use zpool(8) attach to create a mirror of your external drive's OI zpool with the internal drive OI partition and then zpool detach the external drive partition after the resilver completes. <URL:https://illumos.org/man/8/zpool> The external drive zpool must be equal or less size than the internal partition or the attach will fail.
