Maybe it’s not a network issue at all - might be related to a purposeful action taken by a network device (ips or web filter etc) that is killing the connection based on some rule set.

It's possible but the way the connection is blocked is surprising. If you're blocking based on an IP you'd just drop the first syn and the client would never receive the syn-ack. If you're blocking based on the SNI you would be waiting for the first TLS client-hello, but in that case packet are droped before the client-hello is sent.
