In comparing to Fedora I found the significance difference. We don't have a gssproxy.service and the rpc-svcgssd.service we got from upstream definitely depends on that to function correctly.
Disabling "ConditionPathExists=|!/run/gssproxy.pid" because we have nothing creating that file makes rpc-svcgssd not start on bootup so it doesn't fail on the client. Seems we should either package gssproxy or strip it from the service files.
