Audacity hangs on launch when calf-plugins package is installed on system.
It started to happen after I installed Easyeffects, and calf-plugins is a dependency of Easyeffects.

Considering calf hasn't seen a proper release in 5 years, I'm not at all surprised. Only recently have we seen any development activity start back up from them, and I'm not entirely sure where it's going.
My advise is to use lsp-plugins as opposed to calf-plugins for now.
