This Bug affects only Edge Beta 101.0.1210.10 as well as current Edge Dev and Canary.
Current Stable Edge 100.0.1185.36 ist NOT affected and works fine!
All Policies which are documented as "This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro, or Enterprise instances enrolled for device management." do not work on Edge Beta 101 and above. All other Policies still work as expected, but Policies like HomepageLocation, DefaultSearchProvider, RestoreOnStartUpURLs etc... which need an MDM-Enrolled or AD-Joined Device don't work.
Edge Beta 101 shows on Browser-Start: ErrorThis policy is blocked - its value will be ignored.
When Pressing the "Reload Policies" Button after some seconds AFTER Browser-Start the MDM-Management seems to get detected correct, and after pressing "Reload Policies" those show up correct and work:
But: This problem comes again every Edge Browser start!
The "sensitive" Policies which need MDM-Management show up with Error. After manually reloading them by pressing the button they start working until the next Edge Browser restart.
This Bug is new in Edge Beta 101, on the same devices everything works fine with current stable Edge 100. It is not OS-Related, I tried it on different Windows 10 v21H2 Professional as well as Windows 10 v1909 Education Machines - they behave the same. It is just Edge v101 related.
So may I ask you @Kelly_Y , @mkruger ... to please forward this to the right team so that it can get fixed before Edge 101 becomes stable!

@Joachim_T and @Gunnar Haslinger,
If you are feeling adventurous, a fix to this issue is out in in April 14's canary channel build 102.0.1226.0 at Download Microsoft Edge Insider Channels.
I'd love any feedback you may have on this to be sure it fixes your issue or if there are any other problems this change causes. I'll will continue to work to get this into the beta channel.

Thank you @mkruger ... just checked, new Canary Version looks good - is fixed for me! Hope to see this in Dev and Beta soon.

Edge Beta 101.0.1210.14 ... ERROR (unchanged, not fixed)
Edge Dev 102.0.1220.1 ... ERROR (unchanged, not fixed)

I can confirm Edge Beta 101.0.1210.19 works now.
So right now only Edge Dev 102.0.1220.1 is still affected.

Thanks @Gunnar Haslinger and @Joachim_T for the reports of the issue and help validating the fix. I really appreciate it!
If either of you are supporting other Chromium based browsers (non-Chrome ones), you will want to check on those browsers as well. I found this issue was a Chromium code base one, but one that did not affect Google Chrome. I have reported the issue in Chromium's bug tracking and will follow up with helping get things fixed there as well, but other Chromium browsers using the policy system may be affected.

Edge v101.0.1210.32 is now offered as Stable-Release and I can confirm Policies work like expected.
Side-Note: Google Chrome v101 seems to be affected, seems Google didn't fix this in time like Microsoft did.
