Planetary Installations not spawning for different reasons
initially we started with default spawn settings settings and GE was spawning, Planetary Installations not a single one. usually following error/info:
[INFO] Keen: Exhausted NPC PCUs. Installation will not spawn.
after tweaking pcu limits usually:

still not a single Planetary Installation spawned yet.
mostly due to these both errors
[DEBUG] Keen: Spawn skipped due to area occupation (8)
and
Keen: SpawnPlanetaryInstallation failed: couldn't resolve ownership for spawn group 'P2_StorageDepot' Keen: SpawnPlanetaryInstallation failed: couldn't resolve ownership for spawn

By default settings, do you mean the PCU settings from a game save created after the Contact update? I'm on a hosted server and they still had the pre-Contact default PCU settings with larger numbers for pirates and Economy stations. I copied over the new values from Contact. We had 4 players and two planetary spawns in 2-3 days, roughly similar than you.

i created a new save locally, set it up, copied it over to my server.
from the generated sandbox_config.sbc and this is what i started with initially:
