Runtime labels for streets from vector tile package too few, not matching same data in Pro

I am generating data in vector tile package format (.vtpk) for use in the onboard map on our city fire rigs, which uses the ArcGIS Runtime as implemented by our 911 dispatch software vendor.  We were nearing rollout citywide but then a driver from Station 1 notice that not enough of the streets are labeling.  Here is what they see...

Notice how almost all the east/west streets are not labeling.

Contrast with how it looks in Pro -- on the left is the source map for the vector tile package, and on the right that package added to map with other vector tile packages...

Why are so many street labels missing in the Runtime map?  There are so many absent that the customer is telling me they can't deploy this, and have to stick with the older version that uses raster tiles.

I've tried adjusting many labeling settings but most of them seem geared toward raster tiles.  The palette of settings is basically tranferred over from ArcMap, so which of them can really be applied to vector tiles, especially when they are used by the Runtime?  I've also tried generating an index layer as far down as it will go but I still don't have enough street labels.

I'm using ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 and the client software uses Runtime 100.11.
