Like you, I'm in kind of a "hard tellin', not knowin' " box here. I know it's cold comfort to say "at least you have useful workarounds here", but at least you can take comfort where you can find it.
There are dangers in updating system software before you're sure that everything's copacetic with the applications you run on that software. This isn't a "fix", per se, but it is a safety precaution that can save you unexpected surprises.
If you haven't done so already, I strongly recommend that you look into a disk cloning solution, so you can save a full working configuration for your system before you upgrade, and give yourself the option to quickly go back to a working system when upgrades break your configuration. I personally use, and strongly recommend, Super Duper, and an external SSD at least the same size as your system drive so you can make a clone of your existing, working configuration before doing upgrades.
That way, if things go awry, you can quickly revert to your previous, working configuration. If, after loading that clone from your previous configuration, everything works as expected once again, the minor crisis is averted and you can draw conclusions from the source of your previous problems.
This won't fix your current situation, unless you are fortunate enough to have that handy system backup already. But it will always save you from falling in the same trap in the future.
Wish I had better news for you,
Randy
