Not only is that key server deprecated, the whole apt-key program is
deprecated.

       Use of apt-key is deprecated, except for the use of apt-key del in
maintainer scripts to remove existing keys
       from the main keyring. If such usage of apt-key is desired the
additional installation of the GNU Privacy
       Guard suite (packaged in gnupg) is required.

       apt-key(8) will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

[...]

           Note: Instead of using this command a keyring should be placed
directly in the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
           directory with a descriptive name and either "gpg" or "asc" as
file extension.


Perhaps skip apt-key work and go directly to putting gpg snippets in
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ ?
