Turns out this was all just an illusion. ifup@.service already has "After=network-pre.target", i. e. is actual execution will already be deferred until after network-pre.target. cloud-init-local.service is Before=network-pre.target, so the effect of any hotplug event will sort correctly.

I added a "ExecStart=/bin/sleep 5" to cloud-init-local.service, and this shows that network-pre.target and ifup@ correctly blocks:

So there is nothing to fix in ifupdown, and it should be safe to drop all the hackery in cloud-init: /run/cloud-init/network-config-ready from cloud-init-local.service, the whole cloud-init-wait, and /lib/udev/rules.d/79-cloud-init-net-wait.rules.
