I was able to get the ajax module to install in CF2021, I had to create the below symbolic link prior to the cfpm install

ln -s /opt/coldfusion/cfusion/wwwroot/cf_scripts /app/cf_scripts

I am on Windows 10, but can share with you a method that works for me. I followed these steps:

Open the CMD prompt as Administrator. Change directory, using DOS, to the location of the package-installer, cfpm.bat. The location is C:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\bin. Uninstall the ajax package using the DOS command cfpm uninstall ajax
Restart ColdFusion.
Install the ajax package using the DOS command cfpm install ajax
