I just gave this ago, and indeed it does work fine when I save a figure, but when I run the following code the figure window looks like this, so I think there's still an issue somewhere?:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(constrained_layout=True)
ax.set_aspect('equal')
ax.set_ylabel('really really really really long label', rotation=0, horizontalalignment='right')
plt.show() |

Your figure looks really large. Perhaps it is interacting with your figure manager incorrectly or you have some other rcParam set? With a default figure size I get:
Edit: that was Qt5Agg. I see you are using MacOSX, but I get the same result with MacOSX, just the toolbar is on the bottom. |

Bug summary
tight_layout()tries to set the x/y subplot parameters independently. When using a fixed-aspect Axes, this has issues because the x/y extents of the Axes cannot be independently set.This is the root cause of #4251, with a much simpler example below. Also possibly a duplicate of #18313, but I thought it was worth a new issue as this one has a much simpler example.
Code for reproduction
Actual outcome
Expected outcome
The long axis label is contained within the figure.
