What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.

qemu - https://qemu.org

QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good
emulation speed by using dynamic translation.

Is this an update to existing package or new package request?

A new package request.

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify.

Yes, it is available: https://amazonlinux.pkgs.org/2/amazonlinux-core-x86_64/qemu-3.1.0-8.amzn2.0.8.x86_64.rpm.html

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)

Being able to emulate VMs via nested virtualization is a supported use-case on Amazon Metal EC2 Instances. Without having QEMU available, this capability is severely hampered.
