We support Android 5 at least, and do not support Android 4.4 to install termux.

SDK_INT: 28 RELEASE: 9

It's android 9.

Installing termux plugins sharing sharedUserId with termux apps often has bugs reported due to android os issues, not termux itself. Will need to look into it.

Sorry for it, this is an Android tablet for education in china, the system ROM may be a lot different than other Android 9 systems,although it has magisk.

No worries. Yeah, modification from aosp could be an issue. The stacktrace doesn't show the other side of the binder transaction so don't know where it actually got triggered.

Moreover, the GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS is meant to be granted to system apps, not for third party ones, so some internal component is likely failing and there may be nothing termux could do to prevent it.
