What's the permission of /var/lib/mysql directory? I guess these were borked before without being noticed. My systems have 0700 with mysql:mysql.

That is normal if you run mariadb-upgrade as an unprivileged user. It will work if you execute it as root or the mysql user.

Your database has been upgraded successfully, but the logfile has not been written. You can ignore the error if you don't need the logfile.
