On further investigation, Arne's absolutely right. I upgraded the
kernel back to 4.9.88-1 from Debian Security and installed 'haveged'
(another random number generator). Everything started quickly and
normally after a reboot. Turns out I hadn't noticed this on any of my
other virtual servers because they're all running haveged anyway.

So,

Workarounds:
============
1. Roll back kernel to 4.9.82-1+deb9u3
OR
2. Install another RNG, such has 'haveged'
