This error message tells you the answer. You can't run PostgreSQL with a
data directory that was initialized with a different block size. You
will need to dump and reload the database.

You really shouldn't be hitting the 8k row size limit anyway. PostgreSQL
uses out-of-line TOAST storage for large values, so the only way you're
likely to be hitting it is by having absurd numbers of small fields in
your tables (or maybe a custom data type for which you've not
implemented TOAST support?). If you have that many fields in your tables
it might be time to look at your schema design.
