Did you solve yet?  I can no longer work on LR on my 2012 device.  I was going to upgrade in 6 months, but I feel like my hand is being forced into an earlier than expected purchase.

Same here.

PS 22.3 on a MacPro 2012 (Mojave) and a MacPro 2013 (Catalina) with ample RAM virtually not usable. 

Every action followed by Spinning Wheel of Death. Recovers most of the times; not always. 

Standard procedure of switching to „legacy compositing“ is not available anymore. 

What do we need to turn on/off in order to make this usable again?

How much spare disk capacity do you have?

Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences?

On friday I will be able to access the machine(s) in person. 

PS 22.3 was a fresh install; there should be 100GB+ free on the SSD of the machine—but I will check that.
