So, how would I verify Tomcat is using the correct conf files?
I am keeping separate directory links under /srv/tomcat and when I move the link
back to the 8.5 version everything work. When I move it to the 10.1 version I
get the errors.
Sounds a lot like what Chuck hoped earlier you'd not do:

Tomcat 10.1 - the config items have changed noticeably over the years.

Not at all. These are completely different directory hierarchies with distinct
files. One is in .../apache-tomcat-10.1.13/ the other is in
../apache-tomcat-8.5.11/
The 10.1.13 configs were not copied/modified from the 8.5.11 configs. They were
installed from scratch from apache-tomcat-10.1.13.tar.gz.
/srv/tomcat is symlinked to the 10.1.13 directory for testing and to the 8.5.11
directory for production:
The 8.5.11 config files are distinct from the 10.1.13 files:

I would check that tomcat is using the configuration files you expect it
to by making a change to one of them and observing the difference in
behavior when you restart tomcat.
