E2fsck 1.46.4 supports fast commit. I'm guessing what's going on is
that the version of e2fsck in the initial ramdisk is pre-1.46 and so
it didn't support fast commit --- and the root file system is checked
before it is mounted using scripts and binaries in the initrd.
After installing e2fsprogs, you need to update / recreate the
initramfs. How to do this is distro-dependent, but since you are
using Ubuntu, try this:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
See the man page for update-initramfs and mkinitramfs for more
information.
Cheers,

P.S. fast commit is a relatively new feature, and we are still fixing
bugs in fast commit. So please be careful before using it in a
production system, especially if it is mission- or life- critical. If
you really want to use it, you may want to be using newer kernels than
5.13.0, such as 5.15 LTS.
