I downloaded 21.11.0 and tried with new game with and without cheats, it worked for both. Did you try these steps or you're assuming it won't work?
As I said, I tried all PC versions on main post and I encountered the bug on each one. (even after removing ALL files each time to make sure non was left over to cause the bug on fresh "install")
And yes I started multiple new save games to test it, I encountered the bug EVERY time.. doing exactly what you suggested lol thats why I said "wouldnt help for people with the 21.11.0 bug"
So thats really odd that it works for you fine but not others (like myself).

I ended up downloading the latest fix update from patreon (21.11.0a) and started a new game and everything works fine on that version so far.
