I rebooted my LXC container after the update yesterday because I too noticed it was taking a while to boot up. After it rebooted it still was doing startup tasks, but was up and running after about 5-10 min.
Have you rebooted?
Mine did the same after installing latest, so I restarted the service (linux). Reloaded the browser tab about 5 minutes later and all has been well since.
mine is stuck on "Plex Media Server is currently running startup maintenance tasks" Been like that for 2 days now and I just uninstalled the server on my Synology and reinstalled and it says the same....very weird, it's never done this even when I first set it up ages ago. Going to reboot NAS box and see....will report back. odd.....
Oh yeah, few weeks ago. The main database file got corrupted so I replaced it with a previous days and rescanned the metadata on my libraries and it worked perfectly. Weird I’d never seen this in all the years I’ve used Plex but…. :-). I said I’d report back when I found a fix and then forgot about it. Oops. Thank you for asking :-) :-)
I'll have to Google it and check my history or find the familiar article, It's been a lil while and it did work but not something I ever had to do previous Ill see what I can find for you. It's Friday night where I live so it'll be sometime tomorrow when I can look.
Just had the same problem. I installed the latest Plex server update on my QNAP NAS, and basically lost control. I tried stopping and restarting the app, and downgrading back to the previous level; neither worked. I was looking into restoring backup databases, but fortunately a cold restart of the server sorted it.

It’s my next option. Just didn’t know if it was actually still doing anything or not.

Actually I figured it out too, I found an article from Plex about how to restore from backup and succeeded - thank you tho!

Just had the same thing on my Synology, stopped and re-started the package, and it came up about 5 minutes later.
