Did you do a factory reset after using the image? It shouldn't be needed, but people have reported some problems after restoring an image. The factory reset seems to fix them. But, it needs to be the full one that actually restores the factory firmware.

I did factory reset after my home-brewed attempt with a SanDisk 128GB SD card. That *seemed* to fix things for a short time, but for intermittent crashes. So I put the original Clara SD card back in.
I've tried three times to get Magic Memory Upgrade Mod to work, the last time after a factory reset that restored the firmware on the original SD card. No change. It hangs each time on the progress bar section. In the thread mentioned above, frostshutz says that stage should only be a few minutes. The progress bar stops if something's gone wrong.
I can pop in the 128GB card again. It sorta works except for the crashing.
Or I could clone the original card onto the 128GB card again. That would give me a perfect copy, except for being 8GB instead of 128GB. Then I could try the resize tool in that thread? I've got nothing but time to lose.
I should mention that the process fails on the step before the cards are swapped. Card size isn't the issue. The script is hanging while data is being loaded into RAM. Perhaps it is as you suggest and that Magic Memory Upgrade Mod doesn't work with recent firmware or devices. The spattering of comments since 2019 on the last page refer to older models.
My question is, how have other people been doing this with their Claras? Even non-techies have claimed to do it. What instructions did they follow that made this so easy for them?
