Update: Found a workaround on https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/31/changed-behaviour-of-esc_sql-in-wordpress-4-8-3/#comment-33136 (adjusted to match my key)

//fix WP 4.8.3 bug with repeater
function my_posts_where( $where ) {
    global $wpdb;
    $where = str_replace(
              "meta_key = 'menu_repeater_%_menu", 
              "meta_key LIKE 'menu_repeater_%_menu",
              $wpdb->remove_placeholder_escape($where)
    );
    return $where;
}
