Based on these two requirements https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/362#comment-847926:
Our proposal:
Anaconda team would like to leave keyboard layout selection and specification on SIG for Live system. However, to avoid confusion between Live and Anaconda settings we would not provide UI in Anaconda.
Instead we would add install task that would copy the current Live configuration to the resulting system. This would be extensible for other spins to implement their support. Anaconda might show the configuration in the review screen.

Yes, this solution sounds good.
The WG discussed this issue during last week's meeting (2 May 2023).
I think that the main concern was how to support users who use input methods, and who may also need a standard keyboard layout for inputting simple latin characters. You could have a situation where someone selects an input method like Anthy in the live session and then needs to input plain latin characters for disk configuration, or later for user creation.
We didn't come up with a concrete plan during the meeting, though we did agree that Anaconda should use all configured input sources and not just the default.
Adding the ability to configure two keyboard layouts in gnome-initial-setup might also be a step in the right direction.
This issue is being worked on here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/merge_requests/200
We'll keep it open to track implementation with F39 being the target.
