Hmm, this shall work. I suppose you have installed Tramp 2.5.0.2 via the
package mechanism, using the same Emacs 27.1?

What happens, if you remove all *.elc files from
~/.emacs.d/elpa/tramp-2.5.0.2/ ?

And finally, this morning, I have added the following to Tramp's FAQ:

   • I get an error ‘tramp-file-name-handler: Invalid function:
     tramp-compat-with-mutex’

     Likely, you have a running Emacs session with loaded TRAMP, and
     you try to upgrade it to another version from GNU ELPA. Since
     TRAMP is not forward compatible, you must unload / reload it.
     Try the following steps:

          M-x tramp-unload-tramp <RET>
          M-x load-library <RET> tramp <RET>

Does this help?

Best regards, Michael.
