Several people encounter problems with Adminer, that doesn't launch well, depending of the theme you use.

Problems reported with Adaptable, and i also have it with Essential and More (at least).

In Adminer plugin comments, Ruthine Burton wrote about this problem in november, and Christian Bocquet wrote about a solution in april :

to make this plugin compatible with the Adaptable or Essential theme, try to remove lines 56 and 57 from the templates/adminer.mustache file:
56 require(['theme_boost/modal']);
57 require(['theme_boost/loader']);

I think it's worth investigate. Thanks in advance.
