Circling back here because folks leave comments like this and then it's crickets over on the Google Help forum when I leave a link anyway!
This cannot be the best way to get this solved...
UGH — thank you. This is clearly a Google-side issue, not a site quality problem. We launch a high volume of sites with similar content framework, and they index and rank without issue.
If this were truly an E-E-A-T or “low quality” problem, the pages wouldn’t be in the index at all. Google...

I just didn't share because I didn't want it to look like I was searching for an escalation :)

Any time we try to submit the correct URL either as a Page Owner...
I'd like to revive this old thread instead of making a new one. 2 months later and I am experiencing this issue with 2 sites, one is a brand new business domain and the other is a domain change from two previously trusted websites.
Here's a summary of what I've checked so far:
