I had the same issue with app only authentication and ended up with the same solution as you - make a http request authenticating as a user. The PnP library internally makes a request to the Graph API root drive to try and trigger the site to be provisioned but this too fails with app-only credentials.

 

Would love to see this change as it's really messy to do http requests as a user in our provisioning engine when we would rather just use app-only authentication.
