I fixed this with the following steps:

Unzip the addon file
Edit: \ue2rigify\functions\templates.py
Change line 27 to the following: addons = bpy.utils.user_resource('SCRIPTS',path='addons')
Save the file, then zip the folder again.
Make sure the current addon is removed
Close and open again blender
Install the add-on from the newly created zip file.

The root of the issue is that the API changed in blender 3.0 and now the second and third arguments are named, so it’s required to add the ‘path=’ part to the function call.

@DanMcLaughlin ok thanks for reporting! Ill probably swap this to just use tempfile instead so that the templates persist outside the addon in the next release.

Care to make a patch and submit it so we can close this issue?

Okay, I got the solution and the one which worked is the earlier one which you mentioned. Anyways thank you so much for the assistance.

with addons = tempfile.gettempdir()

also add import tempfile to the top of the file
