Have you tried re-flashing WITH a settings restore?
YES
Dear team,

Is there a reason why I cannot point my timeshift to /net/Timeshift/

Error: Directory '/net/Timeshift/' not valid. Partition must be on ext or nfs.

but Timeshift is a nfs mount via automount. The directory is accessible and writeable.

cat /etc/auto.master
/net /etc/auto.mediathek --ghost

cat /etc/auto.mediathek
#
# automount NFS
#
Filme -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,intr,nolock birnbam104:/volume/e721899b-3809-4f57-b66e-939946f1a19d/.srv/.unifi-drive/MediaThek/.data/Filme
Timeshift -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,intr,nolock birnbam104:/volume/e721899b-3809-4f57-b66e-939946f1a19d/.srv/.unifi-drive/MediaThek/.data/Timeshift

Any ideas I can try next?

Best regards

Well if you use it for timeshift, I would make it a permanent mount.
Also turn on debug, so we can see whats reported (menu/setup/ system/logs settings enable, save not to flash, local time.
I assume you have setup your NAS to allow nfs access from teh receiver?
 
Dear team,

for some reason, it's working ok now, but in the menu still shows the error -> maybe just a glitch in the ui (see screenshot)

Here is the important part of the debug log, I can see the timeshift is written to the proper NFS path ( /net/Timeshift)
