Here’s the issue where work proceeds toward a proper fix:

How to fix “non-existent config entity name returned by FieldStorageConfigInterface::getBundles()” [#2916266] | Drupal.org

Here’s what i did, in a drush sqlc, but only run this query if you have deleted every comment field and uninstalled the comment module:

DELETE FROM key_value WHERE collection="entity.definitions.bundle_field_map" AND name="comment";

As an aside, the first thing to trigger the error unsurprisingly was layout builder, and disabling that is a whole other issue: Layout Builder cannot be uninstalled while overrides exist; no easy way to revert all overrides [#2980299] | Drupal.org
