Funimation reissued Akira UHD with the corrected HDR in a cheaper version, the one on sale linked above on both Amazon and Best Buy.
The only people who should be concerned with getting an Akira UHD with no HDR is for that limited edition set, which I think also came in deluxe packaging.

"The disc is flawed, though: Akira has no HDR (high dynamic range) on the presentation (despite being available on the English-friendly 4K UHD edition released in Japan).
Funimation noted in a press release that replacement discs would be offered to buyers wanting the HDR version of the 4K presentation. The replacement discs were expected to be shipped in February, 2021. Yet several months later, the replacement discs have yet to be shipped to many buyers – and a HDR disc was unable to be obtained for the review. Buyers should consider this to be a significant caveat to an otherwise decent release."

(Am I the only one who feels that this is a great film but it just wasn't meant for them?)

The new/fixed version has been out a long time.
