On an old Asus Eee with Nvidia Ion GPU, I just upgraded from LE 12.0.2 to 12.2, and got "failed xorg.service" followed by "dependency failed for windowmanager.service."
Do I have to just manually reinstall 12.0.2?

Try the Generic Legacy.

From release notes: https://libreelec.tv/2025/08/15/libreelec-omega-12-2-0/
"The nVidia Legacy 340.xx driver remained usable for six years after nVidia discontinued support, but it no longer compiles with the latest Xorg release so has been dropped from the Generic-Legacy image for LibreELEC 12.2 and the future 13.0 release. This impacts older nVidia cards, which are unfortunately the majority of active nVidia installations."
So LE 12.0.2 is the last and final working release for an ION device. I've done tests with Nouveau but VDPAU support is "not where it needs to be" for reliable use (and Nouveau only supports it on a subset of cards) and the Atom CPU on ION devices is too weak to handle software decoding as an alternative.

Is there a list of video cards supported by new release ?
