I got to make the install work by using pip==23.0.1 setuptools==65.5.1

I think constraining setuptools is unecessary as this is just running into

Remove setup.py install fallback when building a wheel failed for projects without pyproject.toml. (#8368)

When the wheel package is not installed, pip now uses the default build backend instead of setup.py install and setup.py develop for project without pyproject.toml. (#8559)

as outlined in the pip v23.1 release notes — remember pip does not use SemVer but a custom CalVer like system!

@henryiii can correct me if I'm wrong, but until a modern build system can be established in Issue #1844 I see no problem with just pinning pip to a version that hasn't deprecated support for the legacy systems used now (i.e. pip<23.1).
