For me it was working on 2021.7.4, after seeing that it didn’t work I downgraded and it worked again. Now I’m back on 2021.8.0 and not working.

I do not think that your statement is correct. You use slugify and if I read documentation “bla bla.bla” will be transformed in “bla-bla-bla”. So it doesn’t only strip unsupported characters at the end, it also replaces unsupported characters in between. So “Foo” and slugify(“Foo+”) will match. But “Foo Foo” and slugify(“Foo Foo”) will no longer match because of this change. This is my assumption, but I am not a programmer, so please verify yourself (by adding some unit tests?).

Working on it now that I’m back from office.
