Description
WordPress Version: 5.9.2
ACF Pro Version: 5.12
I have a project with both Gutenberg and non-gutenberg posts and I was really wondering, after updating for the first time in a while, what was the issue but I've been able to isolate it to ACF Pro.
The popup to select an image does open, hitting select closes the popup, but nothing happens: the preview image does not update and its value is not inserted in the form whatsoever. I did all the tests to make sure because I thought maybe it was just an image rendering problem and that the value was in the hidden field of the form, but it's not.
As far as I understand, ACF 5.12 completely breaks featured images for post types without Gutenberg added to them. Sidenote: adding an ACF Image field works properly, opens the popup and allows to select an image. That's what I did as a compromise in the meantime.

Research direction
Reproduce this with WordPress 5.9.2 and ACF Pro 5.12 using a classic, non-Gutenberg post type, then compare the featured-image picker with an ACF Image field. The issue is fixed when selecting an image updates the featured-image preview and inserts its value into the form.
