The setting you want to check is at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps. Make sure this is set to Allow.

Content & Privacy Restrictions must be turned on before you can change the setting to Install Apps. Not sure how it disappears when you turn it on when it should already be on.

Try turning off Share Across Devices, then make sure Installing Apps is set to Allow. This is at Settings > Screen Time > Share Across Devices.

After updating to iOS 17.6 this is no longer a problem
