Wait, what does cgroupv2 do with unkillable processes? Maybe I'm misreading - is it that cgroupv1's freezer puts processes in an unkillable state? Or does cgro

  The if you freeze a cgroupv1 feeezer, the processes may be frozen at a point within their in-kernel execution such that they are in an uninterruptible sleep. The reason is that the cgroupv1 freezer basically tried to freeze the process immediately without regard to it's in-kernel state. Fixing this, and making the freezer cgroup more like SIGSTOP on steroids (where the processes were put into a killable state upon being frozen, if possible) was the main reason why cgroupv2 support for freezer was delayed for so many years. So the answer is "both, kinda". I'm not sure how it'd deal with legit uninterruptible sleep (dead-or-live locked) processes but I'll look into it.
