This morning, the scheduled cPanel version update left the MySQL service in a broken state on many of our servers. We have rolled back to the previous MySQL version and all services are back to normal.
The cPanel team has confirmed an upstream issue with MySQL 8.0.38:

This kind of error during upgrade is quite unusual. Nevertheless, we regret the inconvenience caused.
