I’m going to take a break from the keyboard. I should be back in about 30 minutes or so.
I don’t think so. Most likey this will retain the error or let the upgrade fail.
You mentioned wireshark did create a group and you added your userid to this group.
does getent passwd and getent group produce any errors?
Check also id and groups for errors

I still have a KDE f40 vm here. Starting up and try to reproduce…
Happy to report that upgrading to Fedora 42 solved the problem!
I’m still a bit worried to not understand what happened, but at least I’m not stuck anymore.
@glb thank you very much for your time, patience, and advice. I had a bad day at work, and then I had my boot problem. You, sir, helped me avoid going crazy.
To the others who took the time to answer my call for help, thank you too; it’s very much appreciated.

FWIW, I’m a fan of making filesystem snapshots before I do anything too wild with my PC. Unfortunately, that is a bit tricky with Btrfs (I use ZFS).
Good to know, that goes in my Linux notes right away.
Suse has done a fantastic integration of btrfs snapshots with system updates. It’s also very easy to roll-back to a snapshot in grub.
could not reproduce with a fully updated f40 KDE vm.
