Unfortunately, as described in the document[1], preview-latex isn't
guaranteed to work under certain conditions when lualatex is used:
,----
| Note that support for preamble cache is limited for LaTeX variants. c.f. 
https://github.com/davidcarlisle/dpctex/issues/15
| 
| XeLaTeX cannot use preamble cache at all. The reason is intrinsic in XeLaTeX, 
so preview-latex can’t help.
| LuaLaTeX works with preamble cache only when the preamble is simple enough, 
i.e., when it doesn’t load opentype fonts and it doesn’t use lua codes in 
preamble.
`----
I suppose loading tikz.sty leads to loading opentype fonts.
