Grand Central SAMD51 Failing to upload consistently on MAC

The Grand Central fails to upload the program most of the time. Powering off helps, but not always. It seems better with tiny example programs. It is difficult to accomplish anything - sometimes it just won't upload no matter what, other times after 3-6 tries, and other times right away.
It gets to varying percentages.. below is the printout of a failure that is 0 percent:

I've upgraded to the latest UF2, no change, and I've tried different Adafruit SAMD board support versions, no change.

MacOS Big Sur Version 11.1
Arduino IDE 1.8.14 Hourly Build (I have tried all versions of the IDE, originally with the latest release - doesn't seem to matter)
Adafruit Grand Central M4 SAMD51
UF2 Bootloader 13.13
Arduino SAMD Boards. V 1.8.11
Adafruit SAMD Boards V 1.6.6
