What is the “customizer”?
Are you serious?
In WP 5.8 you can change the widgets in the customizer there I can save wp-dtree. I can click the save button in the normal widget area and the widget is saved. When I go back in the old settings are back in it.

I am afraid that you have not clarified anything. You keep saying “the customizer”, but there is no feature in WordPress nor WP-dTree that is called “the customizer”.
Can you post a screenshot to clarify what you are actually talking about?
WP-dTree provides one settings screen for shared configs, and widgets that provide settings for each individual tree.
Are you trying to say that your widgets are not saving configuration changes?

So it turns out that WordPress has migrated widgets to the Gutenberg block system and renamed the previous system “legacy widgets”.
WP-dTree seem to handle this fine from the theme customization screen, but the new block-based Widget screen is broken. It resets some of the dTree widget settings, while persisting some.
The solution for now is to install the “Classic Widgets”-plugin. It is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team to restores the previous (“classic”) WordPress widgets settings screens.
