To start with, I'd compare the installed packages. I'd expect no new or
missing packages, and only minor differences in versions. You can find the
installed package versions in the json file describing in the image. The
official images have this online, for example, at [1]. Your local build will
produce a similar file (though the format is a little different).

I'd look at /var/log/cloud-init*, as well as systemctl status cloud-init.
Hopefully you'll find something useful that tells you where to look next.
