That CRAN checks cannot always be replicated outside of CRAN is a real issue. This has been brought up before, and some of us wanted to see about improving it, possibly relying on Docker---but as you know life is short, spare time is generally missing, and other shiny things can distract us. So nothing to report yet. Which is a bummer.
