According to
this documentation, these pins should not be used (in use for Flash), and to protect the innocent they aren't made available.

Do you have a link to that board and/or a photo of the pins being exposed?
And can you also show what is shown on the sysinfo page regarding the detected ESP chip and flash?
GPIO-11 could maybe be exposed, if the flash is not embedded.
I have to check the datasheet to see when GPIO-12 and -13 might be available to know if you can safely use those.
N.B. on most ESP32-C3 boards, you should not have anything connected to GPIO-11 during boot as it sets the flash voltage and thus can damage the flash chip if set to the wrong level at boot.

Ahd how is the flash reported on the sysinfo page?
Is it marked as "external flash" (or at least not marked as "embedded flash") ?

OK, so it is not marked as embedded flash.
I think I can add those pads to the selection, if no embedded flash is present, but with a warning (maybe even double warning...)

Will this not affect chips with built-in flash?
