My wife died in December 2022. My understand is that the filing of her tax return can be delayed until six months after her death (June 2023), and that I, as the surviving spouse, can also delay filing my tax return until that same date. However, the CRA states that any balance owing on my 2022 return must be paid by 30 April 2023. Doesn’t this mean, in effect, that I will have to file my return by 30 April 2023?

It just means balance owing is due on Apr 30th and any delay will result in interest charges being applied. You do not need to file a tax return to make a payment. There is an option in Bill Pay at your FI for paying taxes for the current filling year (not installments for 2023).
Basically, you need to run an interim return in your tax software with the information you know or estimate, and rather than Netfile that now, use the tax owing data point that interim calculation spits out and pay it if substantial.... or simply accept you will have interest charged and are willing to pay it.

Nothing unusual here. For example, many businesses have until July to file, but must remit earlier, obviously by estimating. They have to choose between having to wait for a refund or risking extra interest when they remit.
