Before 3.5 a template ref bound to whatever variable happened to share its name, declared as ref(null) in setup. That broke for dynamic names and made the connection invisible to readers. useTemplateRef('inputEl') states it explicitly and returns a shallow ref.
Either form is populated only after the component mounts, so reading it directly in setup gives null. Access it in onMounted, in a watcher on the ref itself, or after awaiting nextTick.
A ref used inside v-for collects an array of elements, and the order of that array is not guaranteed to match the source array, so do not index into it positionally. On a child component the ref holds the component instance, which exposes nothing unless the child is a script setup component that calls defineExpose.
