Note that the technical problems made it more complicated and messy to reproduce the build, but didn't outright prevent it. Mainly the executable binaries were reproducible, but other metadata in the disk image changed each time. https://github.com/zcash/mpc/issues/2

As you know, my complaints with regard to the reproducible build were not that the scripts themselves didn't work - indeed I fixed an issue related to that - but that the direct dependencies of the build were both high entropy (e.g. very specific nightly builds of a niche Linux distribution) and themselves not at all reproducible.

Your reply here is highly misleading, even lying by omission.
