So EDE 22 or 23 then? You can't handwave "validation issue" here because
the point of these error codes is to explain what kind of validation
issue.

That is "insecure".

I think the definitions of the terms in RFC 4033 are a lot more clear than
RFC 4035. By the 4033 definitions the distinction between insecure and
indeterminate is whether you have a covering trust anchor or not, so
nothing is indeterminate any more for normal validator configurations.

Dover, Wight: South 4 or 5, veering west 5 to 7, perhaps gale 8 later. Slight
or moderate, becoming moderate or rough, occasionally very rough later in
Wight. Fair then rain. Good, occasionally poor.
