2022.1 is coming shortly. In any case, one can easily specify jdk18 as the platform to use for a project. The IDE might not recognize some syntax, but the code will compile and run just fine.
I don't think they ever supported a JDK on the day of release, they don't seem to have any sort of inside-track that would allow them to fix bugs before then.
They don't need inside track, EA releases are available quite soon (and some JetBrains developers are also commiting to OpenJDK).
