Research direction
Start with the stack-trace path through FieldAndContentTypeExtensions.BestMatch and PnP.Framework.Provisioning.ObjectHandlers.ObjectListInstance.CreateView, then reproduce the failure with Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate against a group site. Done means identifying the null input responsible and confirming that applying the reported site template no longer raises this exception.
