Research direction

Start by reproducing the Azure DevOps connection failure in the stated IntelliJ, macOS, JDK, and plugin versions. Inspect DisableAutoCompleteCheck.java at line 40 and the RuleConfigLoader.getInstance() call shown in the stack trace. Done means connecting to Azure DevOps no longer produces this NullPointerException.
