This is not too dissimilar to this recent unsolved issue: [Problem with OPC UA when starting Node-Red as a service](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/problem-with-opc-ua-when-starting-node-red-as-a-service/99583)

It's making me think you guys may need to try an alternative [like in this thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/alternative-node-for-opc-ua-compact-server/97528)

[node-red-contrib-opcua-server-refresh](https://github.com/Hisma/node-red-contrib-opcua-server-refresh) is updated and the Author is actively maintaining it.
