Migrating and Upgrading to Joomla! 5.x • Some odd issues after moving from 3.10.12->4

Hello, have a few small issues attempting to do this update:

I am migrating everything to a different server to test.

Ubuntu 18.04.1 -> Ubuntu 24.04.1

SQL: 8.0.40-0

Tried multiple PHP versions

Same root directory etc.



Goal:
Joomla 3.10.11->Joomla 5.2

Steps summarized:

Removed ALL third party extensions prior to update
Cleared caches, ran database fix
Followed all steps per documentation exactly
Tried with php 7.4 then 8.1, same results for both
3.10.11->3.10.12
Joomla next update to 4
Joomla update to 5

Reinstalled limited addons (tried at 4 and 5, same results)
- Advanced Module Manager
- Attachments
- Accordeon Menu CK
- Akeeba
- JCE editor


Results:
I am able to migrate successfully, and almost all functions are normal on the new version with the exception of a few things:

Global Config changes will not apply through admin backend - directly modifying configuration.php works fine.
Cannot save or close, just refreshes page with prev values

This happens as soon as I migrate to Joomla 4 and persists through Joomla 5. (Works fine in Joomla 3)

No error in the console log at first, then after addons are installed I get the below:

passwordview.js?a335da:10 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getAttribute')
at passwordview.js?a335da:10:45
at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
at HTMLDocument.togglePassword (passwordview.js?a335da:8:72)

Attachments configuration will not work - cannot adjust settings
- Can however add and view attachments as usual
- Same error as above


Indexing Smart Search = An Error Has Occurred when indexing
Out of range value for column 'access' at row 1

However it refreshes and works afterwards

And the acutal search works.


A completely fresh install of Joomla 5.2 with 0 modifications works without issue.
