This is from my system:
getty at tty1.service
loaded    active   running Getty on tty1
getty at tty2.service
loaded    active   running Getty on tty2
getty at tty3.service
loaded    active   running Getty on tty3
getty at tty4.service
loaded    active   running Getty on tty4
getty at tty5.service
loaded    active   running Getty on tty5 
getty at tty6.service 
loaded    active   running Getty on tty6

Here is an example of what happens on my system:
Feb 25 14:29:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Getty on tty1.
Feb 25 14:29:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting Getty on tty1...
Feb 25 14:29:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Getty on tty6.
Feb 25 14:29:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting Getty on tty6...

It looks like systemd is not even being invoked to set up ttys.  That
is what inactive  dead means to me, anyway.  Try, as root,
systemctl unmask getty at tty1.service
systemctl enable getty at tty1.service
systemctl start  getty at tty1.service

The @ might need to be escaped.  If this doesn't do it, I'm out of
ideas.  Maybe someone else can point you in the right direction.

If this works for getty1, all the gettys should start at the next
reboot (I think).
