Troubleshooting Greyed-Out Favorites:

As a direct example, you're not the only one. So, report this to Apple. As an example here: My Safari Favorites are Greyed Out - Apple Community

Provide Apple with Feedback:

Do your Part: If Safari does not suit your needs, then provide Apple with feedback on this. Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more they hear of this, the more they will know what their customs prefer, and what to include in updates to come.

To Provide Feedback:

1. Go Here: Feedback - Safari - Apple
2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: on how Safari could be made to better suit your needs as a user
4. Proceed form there as necessary

It's not clear to me whether that was an intentional change or not, but there are many complaints about it with the recent Big Sur update.

If it is an intentional change and you don't like it, then you need to tell Apple: Feedback - Safari - Apple

If it was not an intentional change, then we will just need to wait for Apple to fix it in another update.

You’ll just have to await a fix and give Apple feedback(in the mean time), as mentioned above by @John Gault

New iCloud Session:

Log out of iCloud on your Mac, and then log back in. Perhaps it all needs to re-sync?

Troubleshooting Greyed-Out Favorites:

Create a New Favorite:

What happens when you add a new Favorite while this is all happening? Does that work for you? Or is it still greyed-out?

“My Safari Favorites are greyed out: New Favorites are grayed out as well. Most are greyed out with the 1st letter of the website displayed, some are a darker grey with nothing displayed.”

Troubleshooting Greyed-Out Favorites:

Sign Out of All Accounts:

I actually came across this myself after a restore. Signed out of all my accounts and then signed back in. I downgraded to troubleshoot my projector. All was greyed out. So, try the same. I then upgraded back to Ventura. Also, upgrade to a newer macOS, if an option for you.
