You should try it! Our baking interface looks more like Docker than a traditional VM provision (ala Packer)
Also, we keep the baked images around for a week and trigger them whenever they are requested (with, say, HTTP, or terminal access)
Bakevm with tooling > create userdata script for cloud init to copy payload to server > create systemd oneshot service to run payload && shutdown
