In other tenants, with the same procedure I see correctly the hub and association.
My understanding of your reply is that you are preparing hub sites for general availability.
However, my question is rather this:
Are there tenants where Hub sites have not been roll out even for target release? Or I should check something in the tenant configuration? Any input on this is highly appreciated.

I have found the answer to this with the help of Microsoft Support. It actually needs the entire tenant to be in targeted release in order for the Hub options to appear. Having only some user profiles selected as targeted release will not make the Hub settings appear.
