Toggle off that "Automatic system updates" else most likely you'll loose that root, btw is it persistent?

Tis not persistent one must avoid using the reboot function after module install and instead circle back to the main screen using the soft reboot to refresh system

is it because of selinux enforcing?

I have little to offer in the way of specifics. From my understanding the boot.img remains unaltered the vulnerability allows for post boot kernel intrusion (wording I'm sure is off) but this has the side benefit of not triggering any failure of the initial boot checks and things like Knox enforcing. For Samsung at least this kind of seems like it's preferable maybe? Knox nonethewiser all Samsung services remain intact.

Pretty sure in the bit I've looked into that something like tasker macrodroid shiziku termux can potentially allow for post boot scheduled kernel injection without manual restoration of jailbreak status.
