When "on import" is flagged, a basic xmp is created.
As soon as you edit, that info is passed from the db to the xmp.
Try this simple test:
* import image filexxx.dng
* cat filexxx.dng.xmp
* if you haven't changed defaults, will read: xmp:Rating="1"
* now change rating to 3 stars.
* again, cat filexxx.dng.xmp
* now you will read: xmp:Rating="3"
Back to my problem, I did this test on a different Ubuntu 22.04 box:
* deleted all xmp
* imported all images again
* check: the new xmp carry the edits
So this looks like a possible workaround.
I was looking for a way to do it from command line but did not find
anything so far.

No, it doesn't work like that.
Edits are always copied to xmp.
That flag is for people who do not want the folder populated with xmp
for images they do not edit.
Provided you have *not* set "write sidecar file for each image" to "never".
Perhaps self-evident, but still...
But I can confirm that edits are written to the sidecar when that option is
set to "on import".
