Initial troubleshooting steps:
1. Ensure LR is granted Full Disk Access (not Files And Folders) permission:

2. Delete the file "metrics.json" if it exists:
3. Delete all Creative Cloud apps using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool, then reinstall LR:

I've had the same issue as you today, after updating MacOS today (incremental update). Every attempt resulted in the spinning beach ball at launch, with no option except force quite.
I did everything - plists, reinstall Creative Cloud, manually delete preferences etc, even the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. The only additional thing I hadn't done was "metrics.json" as @johnrellis suggested. This was the step that allowed a successful launch. Finally. I hope it works for you too.
