I observed same thing with another nodejs application
(zigbee2mqtt). As a workaround, I've been starting it from root's
crontab using the following:

---
@reboot -n rcctl start zigbee2mqtt
---

And, of course, I'm keeping the service disabled (rcctl disable
zigbee2mqtt), so it doesn't run until cron starts.

I know that is not a proper solution, but it might be able to use
the same in the meantime.
