Windows Server 2022 in Core mode for the MID server?

I'm looking at deploying a new MID server (in AWS) and was trying to find any documentation that might be able to guide me in terms of using Windows Server 2022 in GUI mode or in Core mode. I'd like to use Server Core if possible, but looking for some advice/articles that might tell me to stay away from core if it's not supported, or might reduce some capabilities. 
Any thoughts? 
Thank you!
P.S. Copilot says it's not recommended, and Google says, yes, it's recommended. And I'm not finding anything (yet) on Support articles, or SN community.

Do you want to know what installing and configuring a MID server on Windows Server looks like? Check out this video! Using a virtualized Windows Server on my Windows 10 PC, I install and setup a MID server to connect with my ServiecNow Personal Developer Instance (PDI). Once installed I then show

@SANDEEP DUTTA Thank you for the quick reply! I did actually watch that very same video this morning already, and he didn't seem to make any reference to Server Core at all. Just the normal Windows Server 2022 install in the video. Hoping to see/hear something that tells me "Yeah, don't use core" or "yeah sure, it works fine, and has full functionality running the MID server on a Core (CLI only) Windows Server 2022." 
Have you seen any articles, or videos about that?
Thank you!

Hi @jakedaw ,

I have this Article :Boost Your ServiceNow with Windows Server 2022 MID Server

And this KB , but it doesn't talks about 2022 :Supported platform changes for MID Server - Support and Troubleshooting

It should be okay. Make sure that hardware software requirements are okay. Look into 

Windows MID Server silent installation and uninstallation

on official doc page. Or you can edit config.xml file to do the installation.
