As a separate issue, it looks like ctrl+alt+f1 (or any of the F keys) does
not switch to a virtual console, so I can't try the above. Are there common
issues that prevent either virtual consoles from spawning or users
switching to them?

Try getting to a shell, e.g. control-alt-F2. Login as root. Use journalctl
-f to get a current "tail" end of the journal log, note the time. Now go
back to tty1 and try to login. Back in tty2, you can maybe see some clue as
to what's going wrong. If not, quit following with control-c, then do
something like:
journalctl -n100 > journal.txt
fpaste journal.txt
-n100 will include the last 100 lines of the journal; you can adjust that
as needed.
