The entire left column on the home page was missing (New Job, build queue, executors). For a Job (maven job in this case), the only thing visible was the Permalinks section. Functionally, the job built successfully though. I didn't notice any exceptions being thrown when accessing these pages in the log. I created a new job and it was missing the same areas as the existing ones.
I wanted to see if a fresh jenkins instance of this version worked so I moved my jenkins home somewhere else and restarted tomcat. The fresh instance worked fine...which leans towards an issue with an existing plugin maybe? I'll attach the versions of all the plugins that were installed. I ended up downgrading the jenkins version back to 1.542 (doing the reverse migration steps) and it's back to normal.
I have a hunch that the issue is purely css...possible from the simple-theme-plugin. The plugin uses this css file:
