Yes everything was normal in the past for us too. Seems there was an issue with IPv6 that was fixed with 2021.8, which is now causing some modules to default to using IPv6 if you haven’t disabled it. If you don’t use IPv6, it will try to bind to the IPv6 interface and cause issues. You need to disable it manually via the OS.
Since you’re running Debian 10: https://linuxhint.com/debian-disable-ipv6-on-interface/
It would probably be easier to just set these to see what is going on as the rest is likely noise and will hide the problem
