There ilo5 2.72 = is there an SPP that contains this

That version is available in the Gen10 Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) release 2022.09.00.00 -- see:

Release Notes for Gen10 Service Pack for ProLiant, v2022.09.00.00

What is best way to install the FWPKG (or is it available in another format)?

From the "readme.txt" in the FWPKG:

HOW TO USE -

1. Download the iLO 5 Online Firmware Update Component for your
operating system.

2. Install the firmware using one of these options:

a) Run the component on the host to be updated.
The component will update the iLO 5 firmware and reset the iLO processor.

b) Extract the firmware from the component. This will place the firmware
image file, iLO5_yyy.bin (where yyy represents the firmware version), in
the target directory. You can use the following methods to install firmware:

i) Login to iLO, navigate to the Flash Firmware page, and update the
firmware from there.

ii) Use the iLO RESTful API or ILOREST. For more information, see the
following website: http://www.hpe.com/support/restfulinterface/docs.

iii) Use the Lights-Out Configuration Utility (HPQLOCFG) and RIBCL/XML
scripts to update iLO 5 across the network.

iv) Use the Online Lights-Out Configuration utility (HPONCFG) and
RIBCL/XML scripts to update iLO 5 from the supported host OS.

3. iLO automatically resets after a successful update.
There is no need to manually reset iLO.

Can't seem to download 2022.09.00.00 - Multiple browsers, multiple machines - always reach "oops, something went wrong" message. Is this not ready for prime time?

It should be available now -- give it another try.
