I think you may be something else incorrect, but I can’t tell what it is from what you’ve provided.

When using this

add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_wp_nav_menu_items', 10, 2);

function my_wp_nav_menu_items( $items, $args ) {

...

$args->menu should be a term object. When I add this filter and do print_r($args) I get this:

stdClass Object
(
  [menu] => WP_Term Object
    (
      [term_id] => 30
      [name] => manue 1
      [slug] => manue-1
      [term_group] => 0
      [term_taxonomy_id] => 30
      [taxonomy] => nav_menu
      [description] => 
      [parent] => 0
      [count] => 7
      [filter] => raw
    )

  [container] => div
  [container_class] => 
  [container_id] => 
  [menu_class] => nav-menu
  [menu_id] => primary-menu
  [echo] => 1
  [fallback_cb] => wp_page_menu
  [before] => 
  [after] => 
  [link_before] => 
  [link_after] => 
  [items_wrap] => <ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ul>
  [item_spacing] => preserve
  [depth] => 0
  [walker] => 
  [theme_location] => primary
)

Looking at this https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-fields-menu-items/

add_filter('wp_nav_menu_objects', 'my_wp_nav_menu_objects', 10, 2);

function my_wp_nav_menu_objects( $items, $args ) {

...

$args results in the same.

Probably a little known fact, but $post_id when calling ACF functions can also be an object of type post, term or user.
