I met the same issue. My application can't run.

There must have been some problem with the database after the upgrade - this time I was lucky and the database was almost empty so I solved this with episerver CLI tool.

After upgrading the solution with the latest nuget files I simply created a new database with the command:
dotnet-episerver create-cms-database *.csproj -S . -E -dn DatabaseName.Cms -v

Then I modified my connection string to the newly created database and started the solution - and after this I could use my application with the new database.
