This is very important for multiplayer testing, especially considering the official Netcode documentation recommends ParellSync as the primary way to test: https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/docs/tutorials/testing/testing_locally#parrelsync

For people struggling with the issue and wondering - the given above workaround will NOT disable live refresh of assets. So even if you check:
Preferences > Asset Pipeline > Directory Monitoring (Disable this)
It will still re-load changed assets on the fly

+1 for this breaking my workflow for testing multiplayer games. Really would appreciate this being added to 2021.2 soon, as otherwise I'll have to drop back to 2021.1 until it is.

I am using symlinks to test multiplayer games in multiple editors, this bug destroys my workflow

This crash is preventing Clones (from UnityProjectCloner for example) from working, which makes this bug a huge pita to exist.
Exists in 2021.2.0f.
