        Hi,
there's a tool called addressbook-export, provided by
evolution-data-server, which can export either to vCard or to CSV. Not
the best tool, but at least something.

It's usually in
   /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export
The --help argument is your friend.

As you use Flatpak, it's more tricky to run. First of all, run
Evolution in Flatpak (to start the needed background processes). Then
open terminal inside the Evolution's sandbox:

   $ flatpak run --command=sh org.gnome.Evolution

and there you can run the addressbook-export. If I'm not mistaken, then
it's:

   $ /app/libexec/evolution-data-server/addressbook-export

I left up to you how to extract the resulting file out of the Flatpak
sandbox (copying from the terminal window may break whitespaces, thus
be careful).

        Bye,
        Milan
