I think your UEFI is incompatible with the tool efibootmgr
…
Interesting. Is efibootmgr being used only since Manjaro 21.0 / 21.1? Because I had, months earlier, successfully installed Ornara (was it 20.2?) on the same drive with the same machine, and I also, just today, successfully installed Manjaro 20.0 (downloaded from the archive) on that same drive with the same machine. For “efibootmgr -v”, this is the output:
efibootmgr -v

** Warning ** : please recreate these using efibootmgr to remove this warning.

What I find interesting is that this lists Pop_OS, debian, and ubuntu, despite the fact that I currently do not have these systems installed anywhere, and I do not have any Ventoy drive with ISOs of them either.
Regarding Calamares, I used “$ sudo calamares -d > /home/manjaro/sudo_calamares.txt”. Here’s the hastebin: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/fupinuveca.makefile
There also was additional console output, not sure if that is relevenat:
