It could be due to the fact that you're running a combo of PT and OSX that aren't considered compatible by AVID.
You're right. Usually if my Faderport is off PT it just lets me know with a message then I click to acknowledge and proceed.

The couple times PT has hung up during MIDI initialization for me were rare occurrences and seemed more of a delay with Windows loading drivers etc. It was when I launched PT while windows was still loading.

But if this is happening every-time...hmmm
I'm using 2020.11 and have only had a couple random hangups with this version and 2019.12

Have you tried deleting preferences and/or removing your MIDI devices from the peripheral list and re-adding them?
Other than that, maybe a fresh install of PT itself?

Does Mac use drivers? IDK I'm on PC but maybe a reinstall of anything related to your peripheral device?
