In addition to what Leroy mentioned, you have Wireguard VPN running. In fact, you have a lot of VPNs and "blockers":
Safari extensions:
[Loaded] Dark Night - /Applications/Dark Night.app
[Loaded] Privacy Dashboard - /Applications/DuckDuckGo Privacy for Safari.app
[Loaded] Ghostery AdBlocker for Privacy Extension - /Applications/Ghostery Privacy Ad Blocker.app
[Loaded] Malwarebytes Browser Guard Extension - /Applications/Malwarebytes Browser Guard.app
[Loaded] Momentum Extension - /Applications/Momentum.app
[Loaded] uBlock Origin Lite Extension - /Applications/uBlock Origin Lite.app
VPNs:
[Loaded] WireGuardNetworkExtension - /Applications/WireGuard.app
[Loaded] sstp-macOS - /Applications/hide.me.app
[Loaded] tunnelkit-macOS - /Applications/hide.me.app
[Loaded] wireguard-macOS - /Applications/hide.me.app
Ad-blockers:
[Loaded] Privacy Protection - /Applications/DuckDuckGo Privacy for Safari.app
[Loaded] Malwarebytes Browser Guard Ad and Tracker Blocker - /Applications/Malwarebytes Browser Guard.app
[Loaded] Malwarebytes Browser Guard Malware Blocker - /Applications/Malwarebytes Browser Guard.app
[Loaded] Malwarebytes Browser Guard Scam Blocker - /Applications/Malwarebytes Browser Guard.app
I would UNINSTALL (not just disable) all the above To truly UNINSTALL you will need uninstallers from each vendor. Then reboot into Safe Mode, wait about 15 minutes while in Safe Mode, then reboot normally and retest.
I have not heard that very many other users have these same issues with Safari. There are certainly millions of users now on Golden Gate. This makes it more likely that something installed might have worked fine with Tahoe but is incompatible with Golden Gate.

Try disabling all those Safari extensions. Quit Safari and relaunch the app holding the Shift key down—and compare your results.

I have the same problem. In Tahoe, I could open a Safari bookmark with my default browser by searching for it in Spotlight and pressing Enter (return). Doing the same thing in Golden Gate results either in nothing or Safari appearing for about 1 second in the menu bar, then nothing.
