=> A failure in the middle of the build may be caused by build parallelism
      (enabled by default).
      Please file a bug report at https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/issues
=> You can try installing again including --jobs=1
      to force a sequential build instead.
# Run eval $(opam env --switch=4.08.0) to update the current shell environment
Switch initialisation failed: clean up? ('n' will leave the switch partially installed) [Y/n]

I'm not sure what the issue here is, you might want to see with opam and/or check your local setup.
