Looks like this was fixed as it now (rsync 3.2.3-8ubuntu3 from 22.04
dev) says:
man rsyncd.conf:
> A chroot-enabled module should not have this parameter set to false unless
> you're using a "name converter" program or you've taken steps to ensure that
> the module has the necessary resources it needs to translate names ...

Title:
rsyncd.conf man page on numeric ids has incorrect instructions about
chroot
Status in rsync package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The man page documention (man rsyncd.conf) states:
numeric ids
Enabling this parameter disables the mapping of users and groups
by name for the current daemon module. This prevents the daemon
from trying to load any user/group-related files or libraries.
This enabling makes the transfer behave as if the client had
passed the --numeric-ids command-line option. By default, this
parameter is enabled for chroot modules and disabled for
non-chroot modules.
A chroot-enabled module should not have this parameter enabled
unless you’ve taken steps to ensure that the module has the nec‐
essary resources it needs to translate names, and that it is not
possible for a user to change those resources.
"A chroot-enabled module should not have" should read "A chroot-
enabled module should have" (removed the word 'not') as that is the
default and expected behavior when chroot is enabled.
