Not sure if I'm seeing this right but while attempting to lighten a portion of an image, the burn and dodge tools have the same effect. I tried different tonal ranges, flow/hardness, not difference apparently. I did multiple A/B tests and get the same result. Can someone confirm?

They're doing different (and expected) things for me. What OS, and application, and beta build, are you using?

What Brush are you using?

That Q got me to thinking: I'm using a spray brush, but expected that it shouldn't impact the overall effect if I'm scribbling over an area. I just tested this: with a regular brush the brush's preview shows different burn/dodge effects before you press, but with a spray brush there is no preview.

On a solid area of multiple shades, the burn/dodge brushes work as expected (including spray brush), but on a single-color area over alpha, it seems only to darken it.

Thanks for that experiment. I'm not sure what you mean by a "single-color area over alpha".

Meaning a single color on a transparent layer. But see my reply below...

Can we get a screen recording please?

Now I have egg on my face... This morning I woke up to find that my computer had restarted during the night and, when I re-opened the same document to do a screen recording, the tools were not behaving like they did yesterday. I tried to retrace my steps (spray brush, diameter, flow/hardness, layer) but all appears to be working as it should. False alarm.
