My testing says that, in early-init.el, Org is not yet a feature, so the
built-in Org-9.3 is not yet loaded and the first 'if' fails. Adding the
path for Org-9.6 should put it at the front of the load-path and
(hopefully) override Org-9.3 if it is in the load-path (I think I
checked that).  The error in the load-library is, therefore, a problem
with Org-9.6 installed by package-install.

This is chicken and egg problem.  I can't use 'org-assert-version'
unless I can get Org to load.

Good. I'm not used to bug reporting in Emacs, so I raised a question on
use-package in emacs-devel@gnu.org, but they pointed me at your bug.
I'll see if I can add anything there.
