[Resolved] Invisible tables such as wp_terms. Could bug in WPML 4.5.8 have caused this?

Background of the issue:
I am developing a site using WordPress 6.7.2 with the Generatepress theme and WPML 4.6.15, hosted on Siteground. I want normal WordPress tables for my website. I noticed several tables missing in phpMyAdmin, including wp_terms, wp_termmeta, wp_users, etc. However, the missing taxonomy and user tables seem to work with some problems. I suspect a bug in WPML 4.5.8 might have caused this, as the issue coincided with the installation of WPML. The errata post I am following mentions a related issue about table prefixes, and my current prefix is 'oba_'.

Symptoms:
WordPress database error - Table 'wp.wp_terms' doesn't exist. The tables seem invisible, not missing. Other tables also missing.

Questions:
Could a bug in WPML 4.5.8 have caused the invisible tables issue? See: https://wpml.org/errata/wordpress-database-error-table-wp-wp_terms-doesnt-exist/
Should I avoid using WPML to prevent this issue?
Do I need to rebuild the site from scratch due to this problem?
