Does FCP have Full Disk Access enabled in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy->Full Disk Access?

Can you create a new, empty library?

I don't think installing LUTs could cause a problem that survives across a FCP reinstall *and* a clean macOS install, unless you're definition of clean install isn't really accurate.
