Research direction
Start by reproducing Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate with the reported PnP XML ListInstance against a site containing more than 5,000 items, comparing the machines and PowerShell versions. Trace the provisioning path responsible for list creation and identify why the list view threshold is exceeded; done means the list instance provisions without the reported error.
