My app hangs whenever I load a project. Trashing my Premiere preferences solves it temporarily, until I close and re-open Premiere.
I've been experiencing this behavior for the last month or so. I have auto-updates enabled, so I'm always using the current version (15.4.1 build 6 on Mac OS 11.4 at this exact moment).
Here's the flow:
It appears that something is corrupting the preferences file whenever the app closes, perhaps.
I'm getting very quick at syncing my keyboard shortcuts and preferences from Creative Cloud, for minimal downtime, but it's still a pain to deal with. I hoped that last week's update would address this, but nothing changed. I also wonder if the creative cloud preferences/keyboard shortcuts sync is in fact the aspect that is introducing the bug.
I'm very interested to hear if anyone has experienced anything like this before, and if you were able to find a solution.

I would try getting rid of your media cache.
Go to the top of the interface-Premiere Pro/Media and Disk Cache and use the tools to clean and delete fhe files.

As I stated in the OP, I've done this many times and it hasn't solved the problem.

My apologies: I wasn't clear about that in my OP. But yes, I have cleared and moved the media cache many times. It's one of my first troubleshooting tools.

Update: I tried launching and closing the app several times without syncing my preferences with Creative Cloud and the app is no longer crashing. My best guess at this moment is that the Creative Cloud prefs became corrupted. I'm going to attempt to re-create my keyboard shortcuts without syncing and hope that the problem doesn't return.

Did that solution work for you?
I'm having almost the exact same problem. Using a Macbook Pro 14 with the M1 chip running 15.4.5 (long term supported version) I have reformatted my External Samsung HD (2 TB SSD) to APFS, I'm still getting PP hanging at startup unless I nuke the preferences. Then it launches and runs. I dont even know if my prefs are synching with CC at this point.
