this is defiantly java setting problem.

check this setting in jvm.options

#### JVM temporary directory

-Djava.io.tmpdir=${ES\_TMPDIR}

you also need to enable this as you are using java16  
14-:-XX:+UseG1GC  
14-:-XX:G1ReservePercent=25  
14-:-XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=30

it clearly says it can't create jva virtual machine.  
may be try full path for logs/gc.log
