installing SP3 solves the issue.

If you have an access to CRXDe -> package manager try to install SP3: AEM 6.3.3.0 Release Notes

In a case when a package manager is not reachable stop AEM, create .../crx-quickstart/install folder, place SP3 zip into it and start AEM. SP3 will be installed while AEM is starting up.

If you are following the offiical AEM Docs here- -

Upgrading to AEM 6.3

And something breaks - this is an issue for customer support. You need to report this so the ENG team can fix it. It should be working as per the AEM product docs.
