That's a lot of options. I wonder what they all do. If you simply boot the machine and then login and run 'df', do you see the file system mounted? I'm wondering in particular about that x-systemd.automount option. Does that mean something like "don't mount this until I think someone really wants it"? https://manpages.debian.org/buster/systemd/systemd.automount.5.en.html says that these are "activated when the automount path is accessed", but it doesn't say what counts as "accessed". I wonder if removing the x-systemd.automount option would help you. The other thing you'll want to look at is how your network interface is configured. You've got x-systemd.requires=network-online.target which *sounds* reasonable, but only if the network interface is actually configured to be waited upon. If you're using /etc/network/interface (the Debian default) for your interface config, make sure the interface is marked as "auto", rather than as "allow-hotplug". The latter causes systemd NOT to wait for the interface. Make sure it says "auto" instead.
