I would expect a non-trivial amount of work required to make a standard
distribution boot with CONFIG_MULTIUSER=n.  Anything attempting to set
the user ID or group ID will fail, such as su, start-stop-daemon
--chuid, or systemd's daemon launching code.

So I'd suggest that this is an expected failure; allnoconfig or
tinyconfig would already not be expected to boot unmodified Ubuntu.
