This can be an expected exception, because it's possible for
/userdata/.last_update to be missing. That case is handled, and the real
problem is here:

What happened to /etc/system-image/config.d/00_default.ini? What this is
saying is that after system-image-cli started up, this config file (or its
directory) got lost or removed. That shouldn't ever happen.

Are you able to do some live debugging?
