   I can reproduce this issue locally by passing the randomseed as shown in the CI logs, i.e.

   0$ ./build/test/functional/feature_bip68_sequence.py --randomseed 6169832640268785903
   

   Seems that the number of UTXOs generated in the test_sequence_lock_confirmed_inputs sub-test (currently 200) is not enough in some cases. A simple minimal-diff fix might be to simply increase that number in this line:

   https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/458720e5e98c6e9103aea1fdfcd39bafc26c27bb/test/functional/feature_bip68_sequence.py#L137

   IIUC, in the absolute worst-case 4000 UTXOs are consumed (400 txs with 10 inputs each).
