The update to the latest zstd package 1.5.1-2.1 fixed the issue on my Pi2, too. Thanks for the quick help!

pacman -U does the job, no need to chroot.

My Pi 3 is stuck on rainbow screen after updating..

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JohannesSilverfox', 'A')fter I copied the 1.5.0-1 package to the SD card, I started the Pi, waited for systemd to time out, got into the emergency shell, used pacman -U to downgrade zstd, and rebooted.

Everything came up as usual.

I just spend most of the night debugging this issue, so I figured I'd post here for anyone who runs in to similar issues.

Tl;DR; if your system won't boot and systemd-journald is failing rollback zstd to 1.5.0-1 or earlier.

The Issue I was having was that after a bunch of pacman updates, the system wouldn't boot and dropped me into a maintenance shell. When I looked at dmesg it gave me a whole slew of systemd services that failed to start, the first of which was systemd-journald. Unfortunately, because the journal service wasn't working, there was very little logging being done outside of dmesg. At first I thought it had to do with the kernel rename and/or changes to the config.txt and cmdline.txt in /boot, but restoring those to the former customized values I had set did not fix the issue.
I figured the best place to start after that was with systemd-journald, but the only error it gave was "failed to start due to 'exit-code' and "exited with exit-code=127/n/a". I tried reinstalling a bunch of packages from the pacman cache, even checking every config file under the sun to make sure nothing had been overwritten or broken during the update. Most of the errors, when googled, either gave no results, or were not relevant to the problems I was having.

After bashing my head against the issue for hours, and deciding to go to sleep and try again in the morning, I found these 2 redhat issues this morning:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2035812
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2035802

That pointed me to zstd as the culprit, and rolling that back to 1.5.0-1 and rebooting allowed the system to start normally.

Another fixed Pi 2 here, thanks @graysky for pointing out this thread.

Are the packages already released for aarch64? Rpi4b? Still got no updates BTW, there is no announcement on that, really? This is making me think to switch first time ever in a couple of years,matter of trust.
