1 month ago I use neither elpaca nor use-package myself, so I cannot provide much insight in what's going on.
I did try setting up a base config with nothing but the elpaca bootstrap and the treemacs use-package block (using the :ensure (:wait t) part) and didn't have any problems. Your issue is likely a side-effect of something else. All in all there is nothing special about treemacs, it's just a package like any other. I suggest removing other parts of your config and the treemacs use-package declaration to see if the cause is somewhere in there.
For reference, here's the test config I used:

I'm currently trying to set up a config with Elpaca and am hitting a road block with Treemacs. Copying the use-package block from the Readme's installation part returns two errors:
Some searching shows i can get around the first warning by setting
:ensure (:wait t), but i didn't have to do this on my old config, so not sure why that's needed now.The second Error seems to indicate, that the use-packages
:configblock runs before treemacs is available. Again, not sure why this would be the case. My entire config, apart from some functions and my modeline format is in use-package statements. So there isn't too much that's running outside of that.My treemacs config looks like this:
My entire config could be found here: https://gitlab.com/domsch1988/minemacs If it helps. It's the first time i'm running into issue installing treemacs this way.
