Seems like you have a corrupt shard similar to the case reported in this thread. As outlined there it is likely due to faulty or inappropriate storage.

okay I read this:
Troubleshooting corruption | Elasticsearch Guide [8.14] | Elastic

I don't think its that.
More context:
I was planning on making this a dedicated ingest node, it was previously a logstash node. I don't need to store data.

What is the configuration of the node (or what was it when you got the error)? What type of storage are you using?
