Probably connected to #16518 and #16502.
There is also an issue report on WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-new-post-editing-existing-blank-page/
WordPress displays a white screen when adding a new post or page using Gutenberg version 6.1.0.
Appears to be a conflict with other plugins, Jetpack seems to be the main culprit. Console shows an error for Social Pug when GB 6.1.0 is enabled, which may be a coincidental error.
Console output with the Gutenberg 6.1.0 plugin enabled shows the following:

The version of Gutenberg available from GitHub (up to this commit) works but deleting the line defined( 'GUTENBERG_DEVELOPMENT_MODE' ) or define( 'GUTENBERG_DEVELOPMENT_MODE', true ); causes the editor page white screen to show again.
Thanks creating the issue @VR51. It should be fixed by #16518, so I'll close this.
Thank you @talldan.
My understanding is there should be a v6.1.1 released today that you'll be able to upgrade to, and that will include the fixes.
6.1.1 seems to work well so far. Thank you again.
