No idea how to solve this, again...
Read Marko's email again. 10.8+ won't start without a ib_logfile0. This is what not starting looks like. Start it with at 10.7 version which will recreate ib_logfile0, and if you're lucky, you maybe won't have corrupted data because of this. Then try 10.8+. I just corrected https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MariaDB. If you see other sites saying delete ib_logfile0, please share your experience with them
