I also have several machines which I upgraded from bullseye to bookworm, and elpa-ess also works fine on them. So something specific to your installation is causing the problem, but I don’t know what. At the very least, what strikes me is that the directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ should not exist. It looks like a remnant of an old ESS version that did not get purged on upgrade, for an unknown reason. You could try to delete that directory.
