  actually, i just ran across the "cgroup_no_v1=" boot-time parameter:

    [KNL] Disable cgroup controllers and named hierarchies in v1
    Format: { { controller | "all" | "named" }
              [,{ controller | "all" | "named" }...] }
    Like cgroup_disable, but only applies to cgroup v1;
    the blacklisted controllers remain available in cgroup2.
    "all" blacklists all controllers and "named" disables
    named mounts. Specifying both "all" and "named" disables
    all v1 hierarchies.

so i guess it's not only possible, it's easy. :-)
