You are one lazy.... ;)

Tenant tenant = new Tenant(clientContext);
var site = tenant.GetSitePropertiesByUrl(siteUrl, false);
clientContext.Load(site, s => s.Status);
site.Context.ExecuteQueryRetry();
var status = site.Status;

This is expected. Modern groups have less options. But, you can enable scripting on the site which will open more options. You can do that with set-pnptenantsite -noscriptsite:$false

Thank you Mikael. I will give that a go and see if that helps. Thanks a ton for the directions.

I had also noticed that if the group is set to private, it will take a while to provision a site. I assume this also as per the design and provisioning solution need a wait condition.

Recent testing by a colleague has shown that the site is created right away with app keys, but haven't tested this myself. Previously a user had to click the sites/files/onenote option in the UI for the site to be spun up. Note that even though the site is there right away, it's not 100% ready. Check the site collection status flag and you will see that it takes a few minutes before it turns to ready. That's when you can start creating artifacts etc and be sure not to get an error.
