Hi Mike,

I was facing similar problems when upgrading MySQL 5.7.x to MySQL 8.x stalling with no error message from the mysql daemon or system. I fixed it by upgrading my VM to 8GB System RAM. I had this issue first with Hetzer’s Cloud Infra and later I could reproduce the issue in my local environment with (bhyve,VirtualBox) VMs with less then 8GB RAM using FreeBSD 12.x, FreeBSD 13.x with MySQL 8.x from packages. 

So I would suggest to upgrade the RAM of your Server/VM and repeat the upgrade procedure of MySQL.

Best regards and success

Daniel
