I'm using Homestead (latest) and utf8mb4 with no issue. I do not use Sequel Pro but are you sure it isn't Sequel Pro's issue? I've noticed in Sequel's GitHub issue area there are a few tickets related to utf8mb4.

Is Homestead 10.0 beta broken?
I just updated my Homestead to 10.0 beta. My database causes Sequel Pro crashing on launch. I also don't understand what happened to the encoding. When I try to create a new database, here's what I get:
As you can see, all utf8mb4 are missing and there are lots of bizarre duplicates.
What happened? And how can I install stable version of Homestead? I don't understand why vagrant box update installs beta by default, it's ridiculous.

Sequel pro has been abandoned for a few years now. I use the 'less abandoned' nightly build along with latest homestead and don't have this issue. Give that a try: https://sequelpro.com/test-builds

If anyone experiences the same problem, I just installed the latest stable version of Homestead, which is 9.5.1 and everything works fine:
vagrant box add laravel/homestead --box-version '~> 9'
I don't think this has anything to do with Sequel Pro itself. It's rather some misconfigured MySQL. Or maybe, just maybe it's some new format that abandoned Sequel Pro doesn't handle?
