If the F2A was petitioned by an LPR in the US Armed Forces, then a waiver would apply.

I believe it is not a waiver, in other words there is no form/fee, the appropriate proof for the exception just needs to be presented to the embassy.

You mean he has not submitted the petition yet?  There is no ban for filing the petition.

Yeah if the petition is not even submitted yet it probably won’t even finish processing before the ban is over.

Why? If he becomes a citizen while waiting then you can upgrade the petition. There is zero benefit to waiting.
