Just added a node after 9.1.4 > 9.1.5 update and Ceph keys weren't installed

Went through the normal process of adding a node to the cluster and installing Ceph, then went to run ceph-volume lvm batch and it errored out for missing config. Figured no big deal, symlinked /etc/ceph/ceph.conf -> /etc/pve/ceph.conf, I've had to do that before.

Tried again, still errors out, turns out /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd is empty... uh oh. Thought about just scping contents from another node, but I don't want to keep playing whackamole with a semi-busted node.

Is there a way to rerun the entire Ceph setup process on this node to ensure everything is populated?

PS: The cluster status page always showing the big red X and "You have at least one node without subscription." nag when you have a subscribed node down is really infuriating when you're already dealing with an irritating issue.
