Family Sharing stopped working for my family with ipadOS 16.5 update

I was running a version 15.x ipadOS and recently updated my iPad Pro 12.9” (Gen 3) to ipadOS 16.5. Now, suddenly all of the family sharing plans I was running are available to my family … One+, iCloud+, Apple Music, shared app purchases, etc; none are working as they used to. I have tried some of the clumsy “reset everything” answers on this community and suffered teh grief of having to restore everything afterward; all 3 of my family members have entirely lost all of those shared features, app downloads, and storage plans. Apple has long has serious problems with Apple IDs but this Family Share problem is a new twist on the old saga. Can anyone shed light on this recent failure?
