For carrying a bike rack the best hitch for your 2022 Subaru Ascent would be the etrailer part # e55ZR which installs behind the rear bumper panel. This helps in two ways. First it makes the hitch sit up higher which allows for better ground clearance so that means no risk of bike rack or bikes dragging/scraping pavement. Secondly it gives a totally hidden appearance when not in use since you can cover the opening.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
