I’m trying to use the WP Staging plugin, but WordPress says it’s not compatible with wordpress.com. Has anyone run into this before? Is there a workaround? Would appreciate any advice
The issue is with wordpress.com itself. They limit functionality to push users toward upgrades. My suggestion would be to move your site to another host and continue your redesign there. You could also use LocalWP to work on your site on your PC first before uploading it to any host.

Thanks for explaining! Quick question… has wordpress.com always been incompatible with WP Staging? I’ve seen lots of tutorials suggesting this plugin for WordPress-hosted sites. Wondering if I misunderstood or if this is something new.

The tutorials are fine, but there’s a key difference between wordpress.org (the open-source CMS you can download) and wordpress.com (a business host). Wordpress.org is super flexible and works anywhere. Wordpress.com, on the other hand, charges for a lot of features and limits what you can do without paying.
