On demand gettys are a systemd [mis]feature. I don't like waiting on them either.
The following or something derived from it might include your salvation:

#!/bin/sh
 cd /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants
 cp -a ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service
 sed -i 's/TTYVTDisallocate=yes/TTYVTDisallocate=no/' ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service
 ln -sf ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service ./getty@tty1.service
 systemctl start getty@tty1.service
 ln -sf ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty2.service
 systemctl start getty@tty2.service
 ln -sf ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty3.service
 systemctl start getty@tty3.service
 ln -sf ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty4.service
 systemctl start getty@tty4.service
 ln -sf ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty5.service
 systemctl start getty@tty5.service
 ln -sf ../../../../lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty6.service
 systemctl start getty@tty6.service

I don't recall the whys involved, only what to do with a new installation. On infrequent
occasions, part of it needs to be repeated after an upgrade.
