I just updated to MacOS Catalina and Pitstop does not seem to work as normal. Does Pitstop not work with this version of MacOS?

Looks the same on mine. Either giving no readings or the wrong readings.

Check out "DesignMerge" by Meadows Publishing. This is a VDP plugin for InDesign. Fusion Pro is great, but it's for PDF's and has some limitations since you're not working with the native document. The 'pro' version of DesignMerge has some very powerful rendering output options so the files don't bottleneck at your print controller. Here's a link to DesignMerge: https://meadowsps.com/designmerge-pro/
EDIT: One more thing I forgot to mention, is that since it is working with the native InDesign document, you can now make EVERYTHING variable. Including changing the typeface, the color of the font, the color of the background, and of course, scaling the text to auto fit.

I wish I could find the job I did in Indesign that had the similar issue, which I solved using GREP to fix this while it did the data merge. But I don't remember the job at this point. And we use FusionPro for most of our variable data jobs.
But it was something like this: Episode 3: Using GREP styles to fit text into a text frame in InDesign - https://youtu.be/TFzWt_hrS-A.

We used to merge to file, and then fix the offending records manually. Most of our data merges in-house were a few thousand records, and we typically merged <500 records at a time (trays usually max at 380 or so for USPS), so you'd only have to fix a couple out of the whole batch.
If you ever spend the <$1000 to get Fusion Pro, it will make that adjustment upon checking a box, and could be modified with a simple script adjustment.

Take a look at this. I've never tried it but it says it is compatible with InDesign's data merge.

Have never seen this happen. Maybe a new feature in Acrobat recognizing content that was on a master page in the page layout app?
