As a workaround I wrote this script :

/opt/elasticbeanstalk/bin/get-config optionsettings | \
    jq '."aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment"' | \
    jq -r 'to_entries | .[] | "export \(.key)=\"\(.value)\""'

I had a similar issue: get-config environment would fail on one Amazon Linux 2 environment (“could not parse environment variables”), but it was working on others (with different environment variables). Turns out get-config environment was choking on an env var that was set to "null" (i.e. the 4-characters string “null”) - I updated it and it worked 🎉
