Hi there,
The PayFast payment method will need to be updated to be inline with the latest changes within core.
The fatal you are likely getting now will be from:
\plugins\Payfast\payment_methods\Payfast\EE_PMT_Payfast.pm.php
Line 57 will be:
public function finalize_payment_for($transaction)
Change that to:
public function finalize_payment_for(EE_Transaction $transaction): ?EE_Payment
That should allow the PayFast payment method to work for now, but PayFast should include the above in an update to prevent the fatal happening again.

You actually didn’t need to restore the database.
The migration from EE4.10 -> EE5 copies values from one table into another, it does not remove the data currently so switching between EE4.10.46 and EE5.0.X is safe to do.
Side note regarding EE5, have you enabled the advanced editor or still using the ‘legacy’ editor (which is the one from EE4)?
If using legacy go to Event Espresso -> Events -> Default Settings
Set ‘Activate Advanced Editor?’ to ‘Advanced Editor’
That will enable the new advanced event editor for you.
