I have no idea if this is related or not but Python version 2.7.16 is very very out of date.

Python moved to Python 3 (now at Python 3.9 or higher) almost exclusively and Sigil followed. So when running epubcheck, you should be using Sigil's built in Python (ie. check the box to use Sigil's internal Python on macOS). And yes a Java virtual machine is needed. At least the JRE, but on macOS I strongly recommend the full JDK as it is the only one that properly sets the proper path for you.
