The CSAM scanning would have required Apple employees to view flagged photos to confirm if they are CSAM - so yes, Apple employees will have some level of access to iCloud data, otherwise, legal requests for data would be impossible.

This wouldn't be an issue if iCloud was E2EE, but they probably save a chunk of money by only storing one copy of the "meme du jour" on their servers.
