/proc/bus/i2c has not been replaced by /sys/bus/i2c in Ubuntu 22.04.
It's a changed that happened almost 2 decades ago. Even kernel 2.6.0
had it already.

That change makes no sense at all, so it's not surprising it doesn't
work.
The problem is that you are using i2c-tools-3.1 which is a legacy
branch that can only work with very old kernels. It is in maintenance
mode, hasn't received any development since 8 years and really nobody
should be using it any longer.
Why don't you just use i2c-tools version 4.3 which is already packaged
in your distribution?
