Additional Information

The table used in this workflow does not have a unique, non-null integer field. Thus, an ObjectID is not present. It is possible for other fields like Text and Date to be used as a dynamic ObjectID, but it can still have problems with certain tools. The Export command in ArcMap is one of them. The best approach is to do the following: 1. Create a unique, non-null integer filed on the table. Registering the table with the geodatabase creates an ObjectID field which fulfills that requirement. A geodatabase is not required. Create a field on the table that ArcMap can use as an ObjectID. 2. Use either the Copy Features or Feature Class to Shapefile tools in ArcMap. 3. Use ArcGIS Pro. In ArcGIS Pro, navigate to Data > Export. The Export Features tool runs successfully.

Workaround

Register the feature class with the geodatabase in ArcMap 10.8.1 using SQL 2019.
