You are using iptables-nft-restore which neither needs nor uses --wait. The
option is still accepted for compatibility (to not break existing scripts
passing the argument). Note that --wait-interval is gone since v1.8.8 in both
legacy and nft variants, see commit 07e2107ef0cbc ("xshared: Implement xtables
lock timeout using signals"). for details.

Feel free to send a patch, or suggest an improved output in a comment here.

Thanks, Phil
