You mean --min ?
I've checked and that command line option is still available.

I don't have an Ubuntu PC to test but it still works in Windows10 and TailsOS as well.

Are you starting Bitcoin Core with -min (which I think was added recently, as I don't see it anywhere in 0.21.1), or are you using the GUI option in Bitcoin-QT "Start bitcoin core minimized" that is stored in settings.json?

Maybe the settings.json option could have been removed.

I have checked my old v0.16.3 Bitcoin Core and it has -min parameter.

It's in the old code as well:
