Something is strange about your backtrace. If auto-revert updates
changed buffer, the change should be logged like

  ...
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): Phase 0
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): org-element-cache: Processing 
request ...
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): Syncing down to nil-nil
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): nil is about to modify text...

I do not see it in your backtrace, which implies that the buffer was not
reverted or that you ran backtrace multiple times.

Can you try again next time you see the questionmarks and also provide
the output of M-: (pp org-element--cache) executed in the problematic
buffer?

Also, I have made changes in saving cache between Emacs sessions. An
Org mode update might help if you are lucky.

Best,
