"invalidprimary checkpoint record", "could not locate a valid checkpoint record". 

I believe this is the same issue being discussed here:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20220316.102444.2193181487576617583.horikyota.ntt%40gmail.com

but Horiguchi-san's proposed fix looks quite different from yours.
