Premiere hangs and crashes when linking Sony XAVC-HS 422 10 Bit UHD on new Macbook M2 Max

I just bought a new Macbook Pro M2 Max 32 GB a few weeks ago and edited my Sony-Footage from my FX3 flawlessly in XAVC-HS 422 10 Bit UHD (H265) - without using Proxies or optimized media. Now I need to switch to premiere to work together with other colleagues. But I cannot even link to a single file. Its a fresh Install, I have even reset all my settings. Media and Cache folders are set correctly and the footage is located on the (very fast) internal SSD. Now when I create a new project and on creation select my 40 video files in the media browser to link them, premiere instantly crashes. I can create a project without media but then dragging the footage to the media folder from finder, right click and select import or selecting footage in the media folder to link footage (NOT INGEST) leads to the window saing "Import files". There is never any progress in the bar so I canceled after about 20 minutes for a single video clip of a few seconds length. I managed to link to ONE file after waiting for ages.. but it will be impossible to import 40. IWhats going on? Is there any workaround?
