First thing I'll note is that this reminds me quite a bit of this
change which occurred in buster:
The security settings for some components of systemd have
been tightened. People using nis with systemd may encounter
bug 878625 which breaks a variety of things related to login
sessions. Workarounds include installing the nscd package,
or reconfiguring systemd-logind.service to allow it to use
the network.

But I suppose you're past that, and you're asking why you have to
restart a service after booting. I don't have a direct answer for
that, but I'm wondering whether installing nscd would help.
