I experienced exactly the same. Interestingly, in about a month ago, everything sync as expected, it's not until recent few weeks that SwiftUI + CoreData + CloudKit no longer sync even after a long period of time.
I tested both my old projects and Xcode's SwiftUI template(after adding necessary steps like enable CloudKit, etc). I can confirm your findings, that it no longer seems to sync in a reasonable amount of time.
