Somehow, we have both installed, but the problem is very different...
I can't reproduce your error, but my client will crash..🤦‍♂️

A partial solution is to set globalRenderer = false in ModernUI's client.toml. This fixed the issues for me, though of course, you will lose the smooth font. You get to keep the cool UI elements it adds, and the GUI background blur effect, though.

Has the problem been solved?

Apart from my imperfect fix, no, the author has never done anything about this issue that I can see. They would have closed it otherwise.

Disable Modern UI text engine for compatibility.

That doesn't seem like a fix as much as a bandaid but sure I guess.
