Hmm, that seems like something of a red herring.

OK, so this is incorrect, (prefdm *is* started, but perhaps some other
jobs had to be cancelled instead.
Can you do this:
1. Add the following the to kernel command line when booting normally:
"systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg"
2. When you boot and it gets stuck, simply go to tty2 copy
/var/log/dmesg to some file and then somehow give it to me :)
Thanks.
