Upload via avrdude to megaAvr-0: RSP_ILLEGAL_MCU_STATE

Hey guys, I am attempting an upload to a fresh Atmega3208 via a UPDI programmer (jtag2updi) and get the following error when attempting an upload:

avrdude error: bad response to read memory command: RSP_ILLEGAL_MCU_STATE
avrdude error: unable to read byte at address 0x0000
avrdude error: read operation not supported for memory signature
avrdude error: unable to read signature data for part ATmega3208, rc=-2
avrdude error: unable to read signature data, rc=-2
avrdude error: bad response to leave progmode command: RSP_ILLEGAL_MCU_STATE

After looking into this further, I tried various build flags to erase the chip first to attempt an unlock if it was locked (but I bought it freshly baked?), and to modify some fuse bits but to no avail. I also looked at related posts in this forum but haven’t found this exact scenario thus far (most don’t have issues on the initial read during programming). Has anyone else run into this similar issue or have ideas on what could be causing the behavior? I can entertain a wiring problem considering the initial read fails, but we are talking about one wire here so I am not sure how…

EDIT: Thought I’d add -v output:
