Help with LineageOS (lemmy.ml)

Please suggest somewhere else I should post this. I took an OTA update last night for Lineage4microG and my OnePlus8T just bootlooped. I tried downloading and manually side loading both the most recent and previous versions, but they keep failing with a kInstallDeviceOpenError. I am desperate to get back into my device without wiping the data.

I could not get twrp to boot from fastboot. I'll look into flashing the stock firmware. Is there a chance that would break anything? I'm somewhat hopeful that an updated LOs4microG is released soon since the one I installed has now been marked as broken.

It shouldn't, but modern phones are black magic to me, so I may be wrong.
