Since the last update (2025/03/08), gnome-terminal no longer starts. No error messages are shown. Since I don’t have a terminal, I cannot provide further information.
Installing another terminal might workaround that – terminator is one example of many that comes to mind.
Of course this presumes you have a gui package manager that you can use use to install it.

… or lxterminal
and to install without the GUI tool, go to a TTY and use
sudo pacman -S terminator
or
sudo pacman -S lxterminal
gnome-terminal 3.54.1-1 requires lib icu75 but Manjaro provides icu76. That’s the problem.
If you had read through comments in the Stable Update announcement thread, you would have noticed references to this already.
Basically, you need to uninstall electron30, and then the update should continue; at least, without the “icu” issue.
After update the update is completed, I’d suggest building packages from the AUR again, as needed.
Again, you will need an alternate way to to this if your terminal application does not start;
which is why I mentioned a gui package manager – and an alternate terminal – which you didn’t respond to;
and why @Nachlese suggested using a TTY (before login) – which you also did not respond to.
Regards.
The issue is, that gnome-terminal Version 3.54.3 links to libicuuc.so.76 and libicuuc.co.75, although it should only link to libicuuc.so.76. I have no clue why it still links to 75, which is only available in AUR.
If you have the same problem, install icu75 from AUR and gnome-terminal will start. But this is just a work-around, not the solution.
I don’t have that problem, as I take better care of my system.
What you call a workaround is just part of the process to allow your update to complete; after it has completed, your issue should no longer be an issue.
You can simply install electron from the official Manjaro repository. As it’s a meta-package, doing this will install the current version; which, incidentally, is electron34.
But, you told us:
So, if that was true, the first step would have been to find an alternative way to perform these tasks if “Gnome-terminal does not start”; and so far you’ve ignored that completely.
In the meantime:
You might enjoy this topic from Arch;
Why would you even have that version?
Or do you mean you don’t have it and that’s why it doesn’t work?
I am fully updated and have only version 76 - and everything works fine.
It may be a workaround for your slightly messed up system. 
Mine works fine.
The problem is you’re in a partial upgrade state possibly due to your mirrors not being up to date. gnome-terminal 3.54.3-1 is the current version in the Manjaro stable branch.
