You might want to check out my short write-up in facebook/react-native#41937 (comment).
In essence:

[…] ReactNativeFlipper.kt:14 mentions:

/**
* Stub class that does nothing to ease the migration out of Flipper. Users should stop calling
* `ReactNativeFlipper.initializeFlipper` in their `MainApplication.java` as this class will be
* removed in React Native 0.75 or future versions.
*/

And indeed, if the ReactNativeFlipper.initializeFlipper() line in MainApplication.java is commented-out, the issue is resolved. 🎉

Hope it works for you.🤞
