@nhelterbrand I've had the same issue and was able to resolve by installing the sfdx cli via npm.

• uninstall your current sfdx cli distro
• update your local node & npm version to latest
• install sfdx via npm as described here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_install_cli.htm

hope that helps!
