Description:
We ought to include the package `nvme-cli` in the archiso. As it includes the **only** tool that can perform both "User Data Erase" and "Cryptographic Erase" operations on PCIe NVMe SSDs that support those operations. See nvme-format(1) and the "NVM Express Base Specification Revision 1.3c May 24, 2018 Section 5.23" for more details. As of now, in order to securely erase an NVMe SSD before system pacstrap the nvme-cli package has to be installed onto the archiso.

I already had this on my mental TODO for archiso, but didn't add a ticket. Thanks for the reminder! :)
I have added a ticket in our gitlab and will close this as soon as the change is merged: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/20
