Since there's something wrong with the network when you get access to the VM,
I'd guess that's why cloud-init failed.

Here's what I start with, this works with cloud-init:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-drive file=path-to-image.qcow2,index=0,media=disk \
-netdev user,id=hostnet0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 \
-machine accel=kvm:tcg \
-cpu host \
-m 1024m \
-smbios type=1,serial=ds='nocloud-net;s=http://10.0.2.2:8000/' \
-snapshot \
-nographic
