Ha! I found the issue with the code and then found the issue with the rest…

First: my switch statement was
switch ($field)
when it should be
switch ($field['name'])

After fixing that, I figured out the call wasn’t actually happening on page.php OR within the if statement! Not sure why though.

In any case, my final code, within the functions.php file is:

add_filter('acf/update_value', 'nwr_acf_update_profile', 10, 3);

function nwr_acf_update_profile($value, $post_id, $field) {
	if (bbp_is_single_user_edit()):
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		if (current_user_can('edit_user', $current_user->ID)):
			$userdata = array('ID' => $current_user->ID);
			switch ($field['name']):
				case 'user_first_name':
					if ($value != $current_user->first_name):
						$userdata['first_name'] = $value;
					endif;
					break;
			endswitch;
			if (count($userdata) > 1):
				wp_update_user($userdata);
			endif;
		endif;
	endif;
	return $value;
}
