I just hit this same issue (I'm going from VSS 2005 to Azure DevOps), and found an answer.
Under Organization settings, you have to turn off the Repositories > "Disable creation of TFVC repositories" setting. Microsoft is disabling creation of TFVC repos by default at the Organization level.
Once you do that, when you add a new Project under the Organization, the TFVC option will appear as shown below.
HOWEVER, there is one big caveat: Once you create a TFVC repo under a project, you cannot create another TFVC repo under that same project even if the project setting to disable TFVC repos is off. You would have to create another project to add a separate TFVC repo. Smh. Just be aware of this limitation as you migrate.
