Welcome to wonderful world of Microsoft. We have some applications still that are published by another facility that we gain access via a VPN Tunnel. The site needs to be loaded in IE mode and thankfully that still works for now. But yes that is correct loading any SharePoint site with IE mode will generate the "globalthis" error when clicking the IE Mode button. We all know Internet Explorer 11 is deprecated but there are many more people out there that still rely on it and with their recommended options of migrating content that is reliant of IE 11 or IE mode is just not feasible in a matter of days or weeks.
We open File explorer links in SharePoint which is a feature of IE Mode but since it doesn't work. The recommended is to use the feature of One Drive and sync the folders etc etc except the problem is we don't utilize one drive and i foresee staff getting extremely confused on the process.

Stay clear from using IE to access SharePoint. Start using the browser interface (or OneDrive) or use alternatives that circumvent IE problems. See https://directory.collab365.com/office365-sharepoint/best-document-management-tools-for-sharepoint/ and https://directory.collab365.com/listing/slim-companion-explorer/
There are solutions that offer 99% of the Windows Explorer functionality and support modern browsers on Windows and macOS.
