The useradd, groupadd, and groupmems commands in useradd.bbclass are

This appears to have always been the case, as long as that file has been
present.
Is there any reason why an initial failed attempt to execute one of
these commands would be expected to succeed on retry, other than because
delaying failure gives a chance for concurrently executing task to
complete and so satisfy a dependency?
Another recipe can be altering the files and holding the lock so in
theory, yes, the retries can help.
Makes sense. I do see that extrausers.bbclass has a comment explaining
why it only passes retries=1.
