Unfortunately, you’ll probably run into [this issue](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/typecasting-error-during-openmrs-setup/31816), which is caused by Liquibase not being aware of the change to MySQL connector (8.0.23 really should’ve been 8.1.0). I’m [working on fixing that](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core/pull/3820).
