  The nfs-convert.service had the following inside:
#v+
[Install]
RequiredBy=nfs-server.service 
RequiredBy=nfs-mountd.service 
RequiredBy=nfs-idmapd.service
RequiredBy=nfs-blkmap.service 
RequiredBy=rpc-statd.service 
RequiredBy=rpc-gssd.service
RequiredBy=rpc-statd-notify.service
#v-

  Therefore, if enabled, the symlinks were probably created:

% locate nfs-convert
/etc/systemd/system/nfs-blkmap.service.requires/nfs-convert.service
/etc/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service.requires/nfs-convert.service
/etc/systemd/system/nfs-mountd.service.requires/nfs-convert.service
/etc/systemd/system/nfs-server.service.requires/nfs-convert.service
/etc/systemd/system/rpc-gssd.service.requires/nfs-convert.service
/etc/systemd/system/rpc-statd-notify.service.requires/nfs-convert.service
/etc/systemd/system/rpc-statd.service.requires/nfs-convert.service

Above symlinks should be removed, too.
(this is from my Fedora 36 system, I may be different in Rawhide)
