Thank you. You are right. Tikz pulls in luaotfload. I didn't pay attention
to that.

Unfortunately, as described in the document[1], preview-latex isn't
guaranteed to work under certain conditions when lualatex is used:
,

| XeLaTeX cannot use preamble cache at all. The reason is intrinsic in XeLaTeX, 
so preview-latex can’t help.

preamble.

I suppose loading tikz.sty leads to loading opentype fonts.
