Default setting in /etc/krb5kdc/kdc.conf, as installed from krb5-kdc in Ubuntu 22.04 Server:
master_key_type = des3-hmac-sha1

3DES was deprecated by NIST in 2017, i.e. give years ago! Reference: https://csrc.nist.gov/News/2017/Update-to-Current-Use-and-Deprecation-of-TDEA . This should not be a default since a very long time, and particularly not for new installations. If a compatibility with out-of-date installations is necessary, this should be explicitly made be the administrator.

SHA-1 was deprecated as well, in 2011, i.e. eleven years ago! Reference: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-131a.pdf .

A reasonable default would probably be:
master_key_type = aes256-cts-hmac-sha384-192
