In addition to the solution I posted above, I came across the problem that the ACF blocks weren’t being stored properly. The ACF field ID’s are required to make sure the entire template is correctly saved into the DB.

$template = [
    ['acf/acf-block-name', [
        'data' => [
            'repeater_field_name_0_title' => 'Your title here',
            '_repeater_field_name_0_title' => 'field_abc1234567890',
            'repeater_field_name_0_text' => 'Your text here',
            '_repeater_field_name_0_text' => 'field_abc1234567890',
            'repeater_field_name_0_button' => [
                'title' => 'Button title',
                'url' => 'Button URL',
                'target' => 'Button URL'
            ],
            '_repeater_field_name_0_button' => 'field_abc1234567890',
            'repeater_field_name' => 1, // the number of set repeater fields
            '_repeater_field_name' => 'field_abc1234567890'
        ]
    ]],
];

In case anyone is still looking for a solution to adding repeater fields as default template:

$template = [
    ['acf/acf-block-name', [
        'data' => [
            'repeater_field_name_0_title' => 'Your title here',
            'repeater_field_name_0_text' => 'Your text here',
            'repeater_field_name_0_button' => [
                'title' => 'Button title',
                'url' => 'Button URL',
                'target' => 'Button URL'
            ],
            'repeater_field_name' => 1,
        ]
    ]],
];

I hope this will help someone. 🙂
