You are ignoring the very obvious error that is shown repeatedly in that log file.
In fact, you don't need to be messing with startup files as Node-RED is clearly trying to start but is crashing repeatedly.

Shows you quite clearly that a node is crashing Node-RED because it doesn't have access to a file that it wants.
In reality no node should do that as all file access should be wrapped such that errors are returned.
The problem lies with the node node-red-contrib-iiot-opcua
. You should raise an issue on GitHub for that node.
I believe we have seen multiple issues with that node and it does seem to be causing issues. (apologies if I've confused it with something else).
