thanks to another user on this forum, I realised that I’d caused this issue by loading all scripts including jQuery with the ‘defer’ tag.
the code, which filters all enqueued scripts now looks like this:

function add_async_attribute($tag, $handle) {
    if (!is_admin()) return str_replace( ' src', ' defer="defer" src', $tag );
    return $tag;
}
add_filter('script_loader_tag', 'add_async_attribute', 10, 2); 

i.e. it’s turned off for admin pages, so that scripts load before inline ACF code is executed.
