acf/validate_save_post fires twice, the first is during an AJAX request to validate fields. During AJAX requests is_admin() is always true. You need to add a test for this

add_action( 'init', 'blockusers_init' ); 
 function blockusers_init() { 
 	if ( is_admin() && check_role('mycustomrole') && 
             (!defined(DOING_AJAX) || !DOING_AJAX)) { 
 		wp_redirect( home_url() ); 
 		exit; 
 		} 
}
