You need to be realistic in that it is a near certainty that you won't be getting conditional approval from the CBP in time to do an interview on arrival into the US on the 22nd November.

My GE is still valid for a couple of years but I am getting a new passport - is it as simple as updating my passport number on the website or will I likely face issues the first time I try and use my existing GE with my new passport?

Should be ok after that.

I got a new passport part way through my normal GE term. Very easy to update online on the TTP site and approved straight away - although I hear sometimes it does require further checks.
First visit to the US I used the GE kiosks as normal, no difference to before and no X so all very easy - but as BlueHorizonUK mentioned it is possible you may get an X and need to see an agent just to have a quick check of the new passport.

95 day wait for conditional approval
I wasn’t travelling during COVID so forgot my GE was expired in May 2021 and missed clicking renew before it expired.
* British Citizen so got Border Force code less than 24 hours after applying on 7 Oct 21
* Applied for GE renewal 7 Oct 2021
* Travelled without GE entering US on 12/11, 19/11 and 28/12
* Received conditional approval 10 Jan 22 -- total of 95 days wait.
Now to schedule an interview. There are no remote Zoom interviews available. Best location looks to be Miami which has interviews available tomorrow. Some locations have interviews in March. Some have none. Will probably do on arrival on my next trip.
