Proxmox/QEMU ignores custom cloud init config

I'm trying to spin up a pretty basic cloud-init-provisioned VM using Proxmox 7.0-8. I've written the YAML (and validated it using the cloud-init tool) to do nothing more than create a user with an SSH key associated.

I'm starting with a template (id 1000) and creating my VM as follows

root@pve:~# qm config 1000
agent: 1
boot: c
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 2
hotplug: disk,network,usb
ide2: local-lvm:vm-1000-cloudinit,media=cdrom
memory: 4096
name: ubuntu-impish-cloudinit
net0: virtio=7A:00:B5:A4:94:F8,bridge=vmbr0
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
serial0: socket
smbios1: uuid=bd772092-d7eb-4ac1-b0b3-e22782c7fa5f
sockets: 1
template: 1
vcpus: 1
vga: qxl
virtio0: local-lvm:base-1000-disk-0,size=32G
vmgenid: 816cba87-f348-46a9-a85d-c0781d8b605c

root@pve:~# qm clone 1000 101 --name test
create full clone of drive ide2 (local-lvm:vm-1000-cloudinit)
  Logical volume "vm-101-cloudinit" created.
create linked clone of drive virtio0 (local-lvm:base-1000-disk-0)
  Logical volume "vm-101-disk-0" created.

# Ignore the name of the file - it's the eventual use case but for now only does
# very simple things
root@pve:~# qm set 101 --cicustom "user=snippets:snippets/cloud_init_k8s_worker.yml"
update VM 101: -cicustom user=snippets:snippets/cloud_init_k8s_worker.yml

# Confirm the snippet is found
root@pve:~# pvesm list snippets
Volid                                       Format  Type      Size VMID
snippets:snippets/cloud_init_k8s_worker.yml snippet snippets  803

root@pve:~# qm start 101
generating cloud-init ISO

root@pve:~# qm cloudinit dump 101 user
#cloud-config
hostname: test
manage_etc_hosts: true
chpasswd:
  expire: False
users:
  - default
package_upgrade: true

What am I missing here? I can find no errors anywhere, but the dumped cloudinit does not match the YAML I previously passed in (and is obviously different).
