Actually, openresty has started supporting nginx 1.25.1 recently:

[feature: upgrade nginx core to 1.25.1 which supports HTTP3](
https://github.com/openresty/openresty/commit/6278b1aeae0593b17d3143aeb60a216f73b6bb1d)[feature:
[upgrade nginx core to 1.25.1](
https://github.com/openresty/stream-lua-nginx-module/commit/d48f057f18eb1f33123bf62be49c735c5cb98f16
)
[upgrade nginx core to 1.25.1](

Considering the work of the author of these patches, I'd be surprised if it
wasn't finished soon (right now, only stream-lua-nginx has no support for
pcre2).
