I couldn't quite reproduce this. Here's my reproduction:

  #!/bin/sh

  rm -fr repo clone
  git init repo

  (
    cd repo

    git config uploadpack.allowfilter true
    git config uploadpack.allowanysha1inwant true

    for f in a b; do
      echo $f > $f
      git add $f
      git commit -m "$f: initial commit"
    done
  )

  git clone --filter=blob:none file://$(pwd)/repo clone

That works on v2.28.0, and v2.29.0 for me. Is git installed properly on your system?

Thanks, Taylor
