    Yeap, this is one of the problems of the Content Type Hub...and also bear in mind that Content Type Hub support to modern team sites is relatively new

An Update:

 

The custom content type has still not appeared in my Group team site - now 2+ hours. Very frustrating! I'm reasonably confident that I have published the content type and told my site to refresh the content types using the steps in this article:

 

http://sharepointpals.com/post/An-introduction-to-Content-Type-Hub-in-SharePoint-Office-365

 

I have also just realised that if I want to upload custom templates to custom content types directly in a site collection, the site collection must be created via the Office 365 SharePoint Admin Centre and not the Office 365 SharePoint (hub) site. The SharePoint hub site now creates the new experience team sites and associated groups etc. Whereas the admin centre creates the older experience team sites.

 

Also came across this article which just seems to confirm my concerns about the content types hub:

Anyhow, I think I'll go and watch some grass grow - I'm sure that it will be quicker! :)
