I know I had some issues with 750UPs that had current RouterOS at the time, but was still running firmware that was pretty old. I honestly don't recall what firmware version it was, but it seemed to clear up the problem I was having. Current firmware version on RouterOS 6.27 is 3.22. I am almost positive there was a firmware version out there that caused issues with the PoE functionality. Please note, I was also doing this on a test bench, no on anything in the field.

Will the power up from the 750 after they've been sitting awhile and cooled down, or is it really just one time?

We have plenty of the NanoBeam M5's running off the 750's as well except for this most recent batch of Nanobeam feedhorns with a 1442 data code.

We have quite a few NanoBeam M5's running off of RB750UPs with no issues.

When I try to power up the M5 feedhorn with the POE out ports on the Tik, the feedhorn powers up the first time and stays online until I unplug it. When I plug it in a second time, it no longer powers up and doesn't even attempt to turn on. When I force the POE port on, it says short circuit and does not power up. If I plug in a Loco or M2 nanobeam feedhorn, they power up all day every day as many times as I can plug them in. So to test further, I plug in a second and third M5 feedhorn and they all power up the first time only and when plugging in for a second time, nothing at all. I've tried 3 Tik's from different batches and they all do the same thing. M5 feedhorn has issues, locos and m2 feedhorns fine. The only thing I can think of is the M5 feedhorn support 1000 Mbps LAN speed but it has always been fine running on these RB750UP before without issue which is very weird. Also, the M5 feedhorns aren't fried when I do this as they power up just fine from a standard ubiquiti POE afterwards. They'll just never power up again from the 750UP.
