You were calling pdftex by full path so most of the time it will work even
if you are using an account which does not have the texlive 2019 bin in its
path, but the log you showed initially showed that on that document a
missing font caused it to run mktextfm to try to generate the font with
metafont, so at that point it picks up the wrong script as the path is
wrong and thing go bad.  Presumably by now your texlive 2016 setup has most
fonts generated that are needed and so you get lucky more often.
