I saw your question earlier, and I usually create cluster with k3d and verbose logging is enabled just for fun, and I saw such lines there:

Finished waiting for log message 'k3s is up and running' from node 'k3d-local-dev-cluster-server-0'
 ...
 Finished waiting for log message 'start worker processes' from node 'k3d-local-dev-cluster-serverlb'

and some lines like that. mb verbose logging can help you to get better indication.
