I have tried disabling that, and updating the data directory to have owner + read/write access for the postgres user.

I don't have any specific ideas and I have no idea what "ignore ownership" means ... what kind of filesystem is running on it? For the simple SSD, is it directly connected, running a normal Apple APFS filesystem, or something more complicated? I wonder if this could be related to the change in 16 which started to rename that file: https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=d8cd0c6c95c0120168df93aae095df4e0682a08a Did you ever run 15 or earlier on that system?
