You may have seen this, but I will post it here anyway.
If you can't back up to iCloud - Apple Support
This is something that has worked for me in the past when I had problems with iCloud backups. No guarantees, but it can’t hurt to try it.
Go to settings>Your Name>iCloud>Apps Using iCloud>iCloud Backup>Off
Force close the settings app
Turn off WiFi in the settings
Restart the device
Turn WiFi on again
Go to settings>Your Name>iCloud>Apps Using iCloud>iCloud Backup>On>Backup Now

BTW, iPad is running 14.5.1. Not what it says above.
