I encountered the same issue. I made the following changes to the code.

1. Commented out this line:

  //x  if (SPIFFS.begin(false) || SPIFFS.begin(true))

2. Replaced the commented out line with this line:

  SPIFFS.begin();

3. Then commented out the "else" portion of the code in that block:

  //x  else
  //x  {
  //x    // Error mounting file system
  //x    Serial.println("Failed to mount FS");
  //x  }

So basically you eliminate the true/false test and always execute the code, not really sure why you would not want execute the code anyway.

Note: I also used the LittleFS, to make it simple to I used the following include and define:

#include "LittleFS"
#define SPIFFS LittleFS

One final thing, I ran this on an ESP8266 mini D1 clone so I also changed the

#include <WiFi.h> to <ESP8266WiFi.h>

So basically you eliminate the true/false test and always ececute the code, not really sure why you would not want execute the code anyway.
