These aren't "island-ish" seeds: for each one, the spawn point sits on land with ocean covering at least 80% of everything within 400 blocks. The percentage on each card is measured, so you know exactly how isolated the start is.
1.19 (The Wild Update) added the deep dark, ancient cities and mangrove swamps to world generation, and 1.19.2 remains a huge modded version. These seeds were verified on 1.19 – 1.19.2 generation itself. Note for 1.19.3 and 1.19.4 players: biome and structure layout is identical there, but 1.19.3 changed stronghold placement, so any stronghold distance on a card can differ on those two patches.
Verified for Java Edition 1.19 – 1.19.2 (The Wild Update) — the line most 1.19 modpacks pin. Biomes and structures match on 1.19.3 – 1.19.4 too, but stronghold positions shift there.
