Description of the need
Running the brush cget *maintenance*
command gives:
docker@cli:/var/www/docroot$ brush cget *maintenance*
System core settings (system.core.json)
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Configuration key | Value |
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| maintenance_mode_message | [site:name] is currently under maintenance. We should be back shortly. Thank you for your patience. |
| maintenance_page_maximum_age | 10 |
| maintenance_theme | |
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
which means the three keys found above reside in the system.core.json
file as a configuration setting, while at the same time the maintenance_mode
has been converted to a state setting and is stored in database.
This kind of separation of related settings creates dis-ambiguity for developers as they need to deal with two different storage types working with close related settings.
Proposed solution
Would be nice to either move all maintenance-related settings to State
or maintenance_mode
to Config
and keep them together.

Thanks! The site was on PHP 7.0. With assistance from my hosting provider, I updated to PHP 7.4 and now I have access to the site again. No database re-import required.

The best you can do is test and report. If you find a contrib that doesn't work in php 8.3, create an issue in its queue so it gets fixed. In my experience, I've found that 7.4 is safest...
