I have both models of the Yamaha mixer with USB audio interface.
Both work very well with Jamkazam.
Yamaha AG03
Yamaha AG06
Windows 10
JamKazam 1.0.3.3729
Using Yamaha Steinberg ASIO Drivers
Sample Rate: 48 kHz
Buffer Size: 128 Samples
Frame Size: 2.5 ms
Input Latency: 6 ms
Output Latency: 7 ms
Also used a Samson G-Track Pro microphone with built in audio interface
Worked fine.
Windows 10
JamKazam 1.0.3.3729
Using ASIO4All Driver
Sample Rate: 48 kHz
Buffer Size: 128 Samples
Frame Size: 2.5 ms
Latency: Around 18 ms if I remember correctly.
I don't see the Behringer U-phoria UMC22 in the list. My friend is trying to use it with a brand new
MacBook Pro 64 bit. It's looking like the ASIO4all driver isn't compatible or is only 32 bit??

Using Line 6 Helix or Roland Session Mixer as audio interface
The Behringer U-phoria UM2 is mentioned, but with no details. I am using it with a MacBook Air running Catalina 10.15.4 and connected via a Thunderbolt/USB dongle. The driver is plain vanilla Apple Core Audio. I can confirm that it works reliably with a 2ms buffer size and a sample rate of 48kHz, but the interface latency is 11.2ms.
My overall verdict would be that, if you've got a UM2, it is usable. If you are buying an interface for JamKazam use, I would only consider the UM2 if cost was the primary consideration (they are very good value for money). For a bit more money, it should be possible to get an interface with lower latency.

Thanks for the info, Steve!
I've updated the UM2 to include this information in the list/Google Sheet.

At the moment I'm using the Roland HS-5 Session Mixer as my audio interface. I'll document the JamKazam latency and other stats but the big breakthrough was choosing the HS-5 ASIO driver rather than any windows WDM drivers. I don't know much about audio drivers so for a while I was getting poor performance, many windows audio error popup warnings and an unusable Jamkazm session with my friend.
Once I chose the HS-5 ASIO driver latency dropped to 9 ms ( Green ! ) and the IO rate went up from 100 to 400. The "buffer rate " showed as 2.5 in our session. We did a couple of songs together and it seemed good enough --- it wasn't like his voice would trail mine like an echo.
I'd like to find some articles describing the general world of audio on Windows so I understand what I did, why WDM didn't work and how changing parameters further might make it even better.
