I could fix the error by removing 'layout_update_xml_group' in the file Model/Brands/DataProvider.php function getMeta:

public function getMeta()
{
$meta = parent::getMeta();
$params = $this->request->getParams();
$groupsToFields = [
'brand_details' => [
'enabled_group' => 'use_config.enabled',
'brand_name_group' => 'use_config.brand_name',
'brand_icon_group' => 'use_config.brand_icon',
'brand_additional_icon_group' => 'use_config.brand_additional_icon',
'brand_url_key_group' => 'use_config.brand_url_key',
'is_featured_group' => 'use_config.is_featured',
//--> removed 'layout_update_xml_group' => 'use_config.layout_update_xml',
'content_constructor_content_group' => 'use_config.content_constructor_content',
'show_in_brand_carousel_group' => 'use_config.show_in_brand_carousel',
'short_description_group' => 'use_config.short_description',
'full_description_group' => 'use_config.full_description',
'brand_group_identifier_group' => 'use_config.brand_group_identifier'
],
'brand_seo' => [
'meta_robots_group' => 'use_config.meta_robots',
'meta_title_group' => 'use_config.meta_title',
'meta_description_group' => 'use_config.meta_description'
]
];

I get the same error in 2.4.5p4. Has the fix you mentioned been ok for you?

Thanks -

So far, yes, but I'm still developing our new shop and have not tested all functions.

Thanks - so far so good here as well.

I'll share a patch in case it helps anyone as the patch on #14 throws an error (at least for me)
