Unable to connect to dedicated server after update

After updating both android client and ubuntu server to 1.16.210, I get an "unable to connect to world" error when trying to connect to my private server. I've tried rebooting with no luck.

Additional info: Creating a new world works, so the problem is only with pre-1.16.210 worlds. My world had originally been imported from realms.

Update 3/11/2021: Based on the comments, I tried deleting level.dat (after backing up) and allowing the server to rebuild. That fixed the problem for me.

Same thing is happening to me, on my Windows server. If I wipe out our world and start anew, the server works. It's only if I use our existing world that the server refuses to work.

 

World was originally a realm, created after the Nether update. I tried zipping the world, renaming the extension, and importing into Minecraft Bedrock client. Playing the world a bit, the exporting it, and extracting the *.mcworld into a new minecraft bedrock server setup. World is currently just under 500MB.

 

Still doesn't work. Same error, Unable to connect to world. No log shown of any connection attempt - the client is ejected almost instantaneously.

I have a survival world where deleting level.dat worked. 

I have a creative where it doesn't.  I copied the world and loaded it into minecraft as a local world.  Save and Quit.  Copied it to the BDS.  Deleted the level*.dat.  Started the server.  I'm unable to connect to it.
