Try toggling off and on Reduce Transparency in Accessibility, in Settings app. That will allow you to switch Wallpapers and then Reduce Transparency should be able to be turned back on. Some users are reporting that changing Focus Mode when Reduce Transparency is disabled is required too. Good luck.
