FYI

I found no solution but to install herd-lite (via /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://php.new/install/mac)")
Also I installed nvm via brew and installing node via nvm
Now I was finally able to get my Laravel/React application running again.

Still no solution to install Herd, but no solution needed anymore for me.

I assume that PHP was still in your PATH for the old username?

You could remove the existing Herd helper service manually and then re-install Herd which triggers the onboarding again: sudo /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/de.beyondco.herd.helper uninstall

Changing your username sounds like an edge case to me 😬
