Interesting problem. I believe I read something like that before years ago on here.
So your shifter was physically capable of moving to the reverse position obviously but nothing was engaging? Could be a software issue

Sounds like a failing TCC solenoid.

I vote for this solution:
DIY: Replacing TCC Solenoid on GM 5L40E (A5S 360R/ A5S 390R) - Fix GM No Reverse! - E46Fanatics
