Big Sur runs Music, not iTunes, so reconnecting to an iTunes Library.itl file that was on your Big Sur machine may revert to an older version of your database. It will probably be best to restore the entire ~/Music folder from the Time Machine backup of your Big Sur machine, then hold down Option when starting Music to select the restored database package at ~/Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary.
