QuickLaunch navigation nodes get removed after updating lists

I have a similar quick launch navigation structure as in the picture below:

The Templates node points to a document library. It's url is {site}/Templates/Forms/AllItems.aspx.

Because I'm using the pnp provisioning engine to add and update artefacts in SharePoint Online, I have a provisioning template which adds or updates the Templates list.

<pnp:ProvisioningTemplate ID="Templates" xmlns:pnp="http://schemas.dev.office.com/PnP/2021/03/ProvisioningSchema">
    <pnp:Lists>
        <pnp:ListInstance
            Title="{resource:Library_Templates}"
            TemplateType="101"
            Url="Templates"
            EnableFolderCreation="false"
            EnableVersioning="true"
            EnableMinorVersions="false"
            MaxVersionLimit="50000"

            EnableAttachments="false"
            ContentTypesEnabled="true"
            RemoveExistingContentTypes="true"> 
            <pnp:ContentTypeBindings>
                <pnp:ContentTypeBinding ContentTypeID="0x01010047421319F25441D68B1E7B7AB3295A19" Default="true"/>
                <pnp:ContentTypeBinding ContentTypeID="0x010100D549991D99554EAAA3E78A78A20B2E10" Default="false"/>
                <pnp:ContentTypeBinding ContentTypeID="0x010100EA56B56D1E12482EB3C61338422E840C" Default="false"/>
                <pnp:ContentTypeBinding ContentTypeID="0x0120D520009DF7A4C82FA0454C8C365CA8F2CEF730" Default="false"/>
                <pnp:ContentTypeBinding ContentTypeID="0x0120D520000F3F1D8533A6469CBDB20D4DD43333CD" Default="false"/>
                <pnp:ContentTypeBinding ContentTypeID="0x0120D520000AA15DCEEA0848C491D84C94E96ABF39" Default="false"/>
            </pnp:ContentTypeBindings>
            <pnp:Views RemoveExistingViews="false">
                <View
                    Name="All Documents"
                    DefaultView="TRUE"
                    MobileView="TRUE"
                    MobileDefaultView="TRUE"
                    Type="HTML"
                    DisplayName="All Documents"
                    Url="{site}/Templates/Forms/AllItems.aspx">
                    <ViewFields>
                        <FieldRef Name="DocIcon"/>
                        <FieldRef Name="LinkFilename"/>
                        <FieldRef Name="Title"/>
                        <FieldRef Name="Modified"/>
                        <FieldRef Name="Editor"/>
                    </ViewFields>
                </View>
            </pnp:Views>
        </pnp:ListInstance>
    </pnp:Lists>
</pnp:ProvisioningTemplate>

As soon as I apply this provisioning template, my Templates navigation node will disappear.

Is there any reason why updating a list will remove the navigation node pointing to it? Is there any way to prevent that from happening? Imagine having 15 navigation nodes grouped under a navigation header all with audience targeting. These nodes will disappear as soon as I apply an update to the site and it will be time consuming to built everything back up since audience targeting is not supported in the schema.
