I would start with:

journalctl -b -x -o short-monotonic --no-pager

And then start search for some of the above items, like pvscan, to see if it's scanning for PVs and if it finds anything, and if it activates anything, and if not why not. Status can also be helpful.

According to your advise i did review logs and found few disturbing and not clear errors:
