Starting apps with QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--no-sandbox" seems to make them work again, so as point out by the very nice people from OpenSuse it seems to be this issue:

That link certainly looks relevant. Which package does that need to apply to? qtwebengine-opensource-src? Can you do that or do you want me to try?

Yes, qtwebengine-opensource-src. I have been talking to the
debian/ubuntu qt maintainers, and we currently have a PPA build with
that and another patch for GCC 11 building. That takes at least 12hrs
even on amd64, so I will update this bug tomorrow with the results
(assuming the build succeeds).

Thanks

This bug was fixed in the package qtwebengine-opensource-src - 5.15.5+dfsg-2

---------------
qtwebengine-opensource-src (5.15.5+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add a patch to fix build with glibc ≥ 2.34 where SIGSTKSZ is no longer
    a compile time constant.
  * Backport Chromium patch to make Linux sandbox return ENOSYS for clone3
    syscall (LP: #1939993).
  * Update debian/libqt5webenginecore5.symbols from buildds’ logs.
  * Upload to unstable.
