This might be off-topic but, when can i get cloud-init for physical installs? Without jumping through ten hacks? Isn't that the future for installers given the amount of effort being put into the project and it's cross distro focus?

I'm genuinely curious on each of these questions, thanks for any insights!

What hacks? I mean the only difference between a VM running in Proxmox with cloud-init “support” and your physical host is that Proxmox can virtually insert a CD with the config on it with the label cidata.

As long as you have some method to get your config on the host it “just works.” We’ve used a USB in the past.
