Solution!!! The Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced) plugin worked for me. I couldn’t get the p tags to render using ACF wysiwyg. I would save, view page and no p breaks. Read a ton of threads, didn’t want to touch functions.php or anything of that nature, then got lucky and stumbled upon a forum post where some dude mentioned the aforementioned plugin.

Held my breath, installed the plugin (search for “TinyMCE Advanced”), went to the “classic editor” settings tab, scrolled down to advanced options and toggled “Keep paragraph tags in the Classic block and the Classic Editor” and it worked! Literally jumped out of my seat after spending 4 hours digging for a solution.

I hope this helps someone else in the same spot 🙂
