I had the same problem as you. I upgraded my Macbook Air 11" (2013) from El Capitan to High Sierra. Unlike you, I was able to restore from Time Machine to an earlier backup (still made with El Capitan), but only after I had reformatted the SSD to get rid of the APFS file system. To accomplish this I used a USB boot stick with Sierra Install on it. Before the restore from Time Machine was possible, I used the Disk Utility provided to reformat the Macintosh HD.
