I think the problem is just the size of the file. 23235 x 23968 pix. Since the required PDF document size is only 6 x 6-ish why not scale the image to say 50 % and try again.
I know of the PDFX virtual pdf printer, never used it. Got the free version, installed in a Win10 / Gimp 2.10.24 VM
The biggest tif I have is much smaller 140 MB about 8000 x 8000 pix and I got a pdf out of that with PDFXlite.
Did you set up the page first ? File -> Page Setup You are dependent on the stock sizes. I can not see a custom size anywhere. A5 landscape is a good match for 6" x 6" screenshot https://i.imgur.com/W6x1KoX.jpg
Then into File -> Print Did you set up PDFX in properties ? I get this, not sure what is effective or not. The resolution setting goes up to 2400, 1200 used here. https://i.imgur.com/onomB49.jpg
PDFX does spool first before asking for a file / destination. That is where your image fails ? With the smaller image I got this. https://i.imgur.com/Y3zQlks.jpg
PDFX made a half decent PDF. It is 12 MB file size
Exporting from Gimp to PDF results in the usual monster file, 134 MB (about same size as the tif) Once into my linux machine I pulled the image back out of the PDFX file and it is good quality.
No great help except it can work. Try with a smaller file.
