Please try with the latest synced vSRX and ubuntu-traffic(vmdk) image.
Provide setup if you see the issue.

[wenqing liang (wliang)]

Tried with re-synced and then the resized image and the VMs still did not come up fully in both cases.

[Ganesha HV (ganeshahv)]

The issue is specific to nested testbed. The same tests are running in other testbeds without an issue. Manually spawn up a vSRX image successfully in the testbed and see if the script fails.
This is not a script issue as of now.
