Matt, what about the State of your Host on which the stuck VM resides? Is the State good ("Operating")? We've been seeing this issue from time to time wherein the State goes "Unknown". Sometimes just Updating the HMC (putting in the password again) seems to work. And part of our "hocus pocus" involves editing the connection to move it over to the other HMC. And then back again. (Gotta be patient, as it can take ~5+ minutes to normalize the State and Health status again.) And if that don't work, powervc-services restart sometimes takes care of that issue. IMO, it is a defect at this level, and it will probably never get fixed. Bottom line though, if the Host ain't "green", it ain't in play (no deployments allowed).
We are at the same version of PowerVC, but we are on RHEL 8.4.
